Megathread: School Shooting in Florida

Posted: 14 Feb 2018 04:50 PM PST

This megathread will serve as a location for active discussion about the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Comments have been set to new so that people can discuss developments in real time.

 

The original thread is still live and will remain up. However, it has nearly 30,000 comments and is pretty hard to use for active discussion.


Here are the basic facts:

  • 17 confirmed dead. 3 in critical condition at the hospital.

  • Suspect is in custody and has been named.

  • Shooter is cooperating with police and said that he pulled fire alarm.

  • This looks to be pre-meditated. Shooter had an AR-15 with multiple magazines and smoke grenades. He pulled the fire alarm at the end of the school day and began his rampage.

There are a lot of other details out there, but these are just the basics.


Remember, we have three very important rules for situations like these. If you do not abide by them, you will be permanently banned.

  • DO NOT share the personal information of victims until the identities are confirmed by the police or mainstream media.

  • DO NOT post identifiable images/videos of the dead or dying. Reddit is one of the most high-traffic sites in the world, especially in times of crisis. No one should find out that their loved one has died in a reddit thread. To clarify, you can still post images and videos of the incident, just no closeups of someone's face as they die.

Since the shooter's name is now public, you can share his name, but do not share the personal details of the shooter's family members (things like addresses, emails, phone numbers, etc will all still be removed).
