An active shooter has been reported at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, hours after the academy's head told cadets to 'get out' if they held racist views. At 1.23am on Saturday, the academy sent out a worrying tweet advising that the shooter was active on the grounds which sits north of Colorado Springs. 'We received reports of active shooter on Academy grounds. There are no confirmation of shots fired. Security forces are sweeping the area,' it said. There is no information of whether anyone has been injured. The threat comes just hours after Lt. General Jay Silveria called all 4,000 cadets to attention after finding racist slurs written on a message board outside the dorm of five black students. Another cadet has scrawled the words 'go home n*****' on the board in black marker.

Now, who actually wrote that?

My hope is that some vehicle backfired close to the school.

Sadly and stoically, I am expecting this to turn out as a false-flag incident.

That it wasn’t white cadets who wrote the slurs.

It’s been decades since white folks have all but stopped using the N-word.

My guess is that this was not written by white folks, either.

We have a problem with bad old paranoia here. Decades after their shackles were cut, the new “slaves” don’t want to take them off. And George Washington Carver knew why — it was for the sake of a perpetual pity party.

It’s likely 99% chance that you’re right or some other non-incident.

Please refrain from calling the Academy Law Enforcement Desk & Base Defense Operations Ctr so we can effectively handle the current incident

Local KRDO News Channel twitter coverage. I hope it’s not a real active shooting going on.

Me too, but we’ll know in time.

Frankly, I’m surprised we don’t by now.

KOAA TV reports that El Paso County Sheriff’s SWAT team has arrived on scene as well.

They also say the shelter in place order came down at 1030 local time, 1230 am Eastern.

Yep...what I’m thinking ....the fact they asked people not to call the academy while they see to the “incident” tells me it’s likely some kid there adding fuel to the fire by tweeting there was a shooter in his dorm....may not even been one.

The fact there’s no further news yet I think it’s some kid there stirring waters crying wolf.
