youre not the only one thinking that. ive heard other people asking the same thing.
You are overreacting.
The new buzzword amongst military bases stateside is the threat of an “Active Shooter”. It’s the threat of somebody just going around shooting people as an act of terrorism.
It appears any incident involving a firearm is now being described as an ‘active shooting’ incident.
Declaring he is no longer active, simply means the immediate threat has subsided.
