    I think the question comes from

    Did I miss the part of the article that described an active shooter?

    All I read was there were shots[…]

    Where else would the shots have come from if not a shooter? The threat was later neutralized (whatever that may mean) but yes, there was a shooter at some point if there were gunshots.

      The article claims an active shooter was neutralized.

      The article only discusses shooting in the context of someone being shot, the alleged active shooter.

      That article, at the time that I read it, did nothing to describe anyone else firing a gun, except for the “hero” who allegedly neutralized that’s supposed to threat.

      Let me put it this way. Let’s say I’m walking past a middle school with a gun, I see you, and promptly gun you down and claim that you we’re an active shooter threat - even though you fired no shots.

      The article, as it was written, could just of easily been written about that fictional scenario.

      You understand my problem with it now?
