TO ALL NEW READERS, PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES AS PER MOD DECISIONS, AS LISTED BELOW. THIS IS A SENSITIVE SUBJECT THAT CAN EASILY TANGENT AND WE ARE LOOKING TO AVOID THAT. THANKS FOR TAKING A FEW SECONDS TO READ THIS.
MODERATOR-SET RULES FOR DISCUSSION:
Absolutely no posting of reddit theories or social media posts doing Internet sleuthing etc.
**New: No speculation about whether the shooter is/was/could be an ISIS agent until solid proof is presented.
No more second civil war discussion
3D printers may one day be able to print usable gun parts, but today is not that day and this thread is not that thread.
If you post new information, indicate the reliable news source you got it from. Identify all tweet authors. And we've all seen the Onion article already. We know.
Keep discussion focused on discussing the incident.
Guns vs bombs is not a particularly relevant or helpful discussion.
This thread needs to avoid a wide ranging discussion of gun control laws (regardless of nation) and stick to discussing the incident itself. There is an American gun control thread here if that discussion more fits what you'd like to post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Call this number if you've got loved ones in the area:
Not much of an OP but I figured we should start putting info here instead of other places.

if you are missing someone, or are in the area and want people to know you are safe, facebook is doing their disaster thing.
the phone number if you need to reach police, or are missing someone possibly from this, is below

He's not brown.
You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.
Added tweet to OP
It's just... fuck. This is awful.
He is not Arabic / middle eastern... I know nothing other than his photo, which could be hispanic, native, or asian.
But he definitely isn't white, so expect his race to be part of the terrible conversations to come.

Yes, it's tragic, but also... it's yet another mass shooting in the US and your politicians have long ago decided not to do anything to prevent the next one, so...
Man, I dunno.
:squints:
He's being reported as a white male by several news sites.
Some guy from Arkansas with the same second name as Marilou Danley, who is wanted for questioning, was "outed" as the shooter. This "profile" of him was circulating, saying he was a member of all these left wing Facebook groups and that he was a campaigner for LGBTQ rights. Some people are STILL sticking to it, swearing that he's her ex husband and he was in on it.
Whoever the guy is, he was trending for hours.
Anyway, I recommend we don't mention his name here because if I were him I'd be onto a lawyer yesterday.
yeah, you are right.
MSNBC ran a photo an hour ago of someone who is most definitely not a guy that matches the description given by the police now.
Fucking news is hard in the heat of the moment.

Definitely do not link social media accounts of suspects/persons of interest.
The daily mirror put up a picture of a generic looking white guy purported to be him, that is the only picture I have seen, definitely does not look hispanic or asian.
The lady that was seen with him that night was SEA so that may be the source of confusion.
I try my best to only link properly soirced material, or direct tweets from law enforcement... and even then there will be misinformation in the early hours of something this massive.

Good Morning America producer with a clip from early this morning;
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
It's the kind of phrasing that you use on a sad card being passed around the office for somebody that you didn't know very well.
It's not exactly appropriate in response to the worst shooting in America's history.
It's sobering to see these listed out. I had forgotten how recent Orlando was.
It is utterly empty and pathetic. We know what he looks like when he's impacted by something. Or passionate about something. We see it when he's scolding NFL players, or defending racists. So this isn't it. I have no problem believing he doesn't really give a shit
Because it sounds totally insincere, as always? It's basically what gets written in an office wide condolences card when you don't even know the person it's for.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
They've got canned responses, like they're responding to the results of a football game in their district or something.

Hope everyone affected by this is doing okay.
EDIT:
What a fucking shitty thing period.
I've long since lost patience with this infantile coping mechanism, these idiots can rot in hell if they believe it didn't happen
This happened out in the open in a public place with thousands of witnesses, so at the very least I'm hoping there's will be less "this was staged crisis actors" bullshit. Am I crazy in believing even conspiracy theorists have a limit? Like the best conspiracy you could come up with is that the guy was like a government agent or patsy to stop gun sales or whatever, or am I being too sensible about it?
My first reaction to this news was to be snarky and sarcastic. Maybe it's because I just can't fully comprehend it? I don't know. I walked into the break room at work this morning and everybody was watching video footage like it was reality tv. It didn't phase them.
How did we let ourselves come to this? How is this normal? God, we are so sick.
