>>As law enforcement arrived, the shooter’s identity and exact location were still unknown.

Just think of Boss Hogg junior newsman, had turned his camera on live streamcasting views of the school shooting to 911 or a pressroom instead of interviewing his fellow students under stress about the need for tougher gun control legislation.

Can 911 handle video calls yet and if not why not?

"Can 911 handle video calls yet and if not why not?"

Not sure if that's a reality yet, but it's my understanding that many 9-1-1 call centers are now capable of taking emergency "texts."

Imagine the frightening possibilities there; many, if not most of my friends and relatives can't send me a coherent text while NOT hysterical.

Not to mention texts with erroneous or incomplete information from anonymous senders that "don't want to get involved."
