"One must ask why her boyfriend would turn to social media at this time?" I can't relate. I would be destroyed...the last thing on my mind would be people on Twitter or Facebook.

Where has it been “widely” reported.
I am actually quite curios because this is the first time I have heard of it. So any links/info would be helpful

It doesn't surprise me. He's young.

I know, this should make it quite a bit easier.

“One must ask why her boyfriend would turn to social media at this time?”
It’s a weird thing but not surprising. The younger generation uses social media the way we talked to friends and family when we were younger. They post everything and post constantly. I just don’t find my life so interesting that I need to show all the meals I eat, the people I speak to, and how I am feeling right now. Social media is an odd duck....

.the last thing on my mind would be people on Twitter or Facebook. No offense, but I don't think we'll ever understand the youth. I'm 35, and I don't understand it; but I know many of my younger cousins are glued to their personal devices and social media. There's no disconnect, even in tragedy.

Regardless of what you think of Trump; he is going to go off the rails when he is made aware of that tweet...and I don’t blame him one bit.

The scanner just said “black man” but I don’t know if it’s the chase suspect.

If it hasn’t already been posted above, it is being reported that the perp has been identified and was a former “disgruntled” employee of the news station.

I guess I’m showing my age. I enjoy social media but when someone you love was just murdered why pull out your phone.
