I detest the phrase ‘shelter in place’. Yes, it suggests that Big Brother will take care of you. Our proud Military is being infantilized by this Admin, just like the citizenry. I weep for the USA.

Call me jaded, but isn’t it convenient this totally wipes the story about a certain meeting between a certain ex-president and a certain AG off the news?

Huma’s testimony yesterday was not helpful to Hildabeast. Maybe keep that out of the news?

You know this nation is doomed when the instructions given to military personnel on a military base in an event like this are the exact same instructions that are given to a day care facility or kindergarten class.

Needs to be repeated. BTTT.

Look folks...as long as POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton remain in office, innocent Americans and people all over the world will die and be seriously injured, on an ongoing, regular basis, because neither POTUS, Obama, Murderer, Clinton, Retard, Warren, Deadbeat, Biden, the entire disgusting, Democrat Party gives one hoot about the safety of the American people, their families & our military folks. Actually ...i love it....you idiot fool Americans got eaxactly what you deserve....”Traitors” to your country and families. God’s shame on all of you low life, for voting this cancerous vermin Democrat despots in!!! Impeach Barack Hussein Obama....right now!!! LMAO!!!

It sounds to me like somebody didn’t get the memo that this was only supposed to be a drill. Usually, somebody would know if there is “an active shooter” and where he/she/it/wiz/zim/zer/zot was “active” at. You’d be able to hear the gunfire.

This reminds me of the nuclear launch drills for both the missile folks and SAC folks during the cold war.

“Scramble, Scramble..THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I repeat, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Launch ALL BIRDS!”

CNN saying its “ an accidental discharge” so they knew from the beginning what had occurred so LE in the area was told to stand down ; they could handle it.

Maybe it’s an “active shooter” drill for the MSM so they can get this right. That fiasco in Orlando was screwed up badly, with the guy talking about “some random guy” holding a door shut, etc.

Also, maybe people will be so jaded by convention time that no one will bat an eye anymore, which would serve purposes of what they may be trying to achieve.

Or not. Maybe someone just can’t operate their firearm and screwed up. Lol.

The reporting says, “they are INVESTIGATING a report of an active shooter.”
