American universities should have drills on what to do when there isn’t an active shooter on campus.
********************
Says here they’ve arrested someone. Four people are being treated in hospitals.
Let’s see if we can’t draw a picture of the shooter. Male. Very young, like 19. Psychotic, has been undergoing treatment for years. Name either excruciatingly Mayflower (Randolph Higginbottom The Fourth) or way ethnic (Alfredo Ibn Gandhi).

You remember, right? The last shooting at FSU?
****************
[A] student who lived through the Parkland shooting entered [a room where students were sheltering]. “He was like, ‘Man, I never thought this would happen again.'”
******************
*******************
Hoping against hope this is inaccurate: Five dead, four injured. Two shooters, one of them dead.
***************
Thinking of that gun billboard on the streets of Oakland. Suggested slogan: USE IT TO KILL EVERYONE BECAUSE YOU HATE THE WORLD.
*******************
“[N]ormal college dude” … a white man with light hair, wearing an orange t-shirt and khaki shorts.
********************
Apparently the five dead/two shooters report is incorrect.

I was off by one year: The tyke was just 20. I was right about the funny name: Phoenix Ikner. His parents – they’re in law enforcement and have mucho guns at home, very convenient for their troubled son – gave him [I’ve corrected this; see a later post on Ikner] that wondrous, grandiloquent first name, regarding their babe I guess as a great beautiful mythic bird reborn from its own ashes. They probably didn’t anticipate that he’d reduce everyone around him to ashes. Maybe they were blinded by that name; maybe, less blinded, they would have made an effort to keep him away from guns. They may face prosecution.
