That's weird. Nobody cares about active shooters anymore?

#1 The "important" people don't care about active shooters anymore...

Pretty sure "the shooter took his own life" negates the whole "active shooter" narrative.

The shooter was carrying notes "related to violent incidents known to have occurred in the United States in April 1999."

Who says the rest of the world doesn't look up to America like it once did? We can still spread our culture around.

This is like 30 mins north of Mexico City. I had an anthropology Prof who worked on the Teotihuacan Mapping Project (TMP), and brought back long scroll colored copies of the symbols and drawings there.

We would push all the desks to one side of the room and roll the scrolls open on the floor for study. They were very cool.

Unlike this shooting.

Gunman at Mexican pyramids carried materials related to 1999 Columbine massacre

... The gunman who opened fire on tourists at Mexico's iconic Teotihuacan pyramids carried materials that were apparently related to the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School, authorities said Tuesday, a day after the attack that killed a Canadian woman and left at least 13 people injured.

Although officials did not mention Columbine by name, they referred to several books and handwritten notes that belonged to the gunman and referenced attacks in the United States in April 1999. Monday marked the 27th anniversary of the massacre in Colorado.

Among the gunman's belongings was a photo modified by artificial intelligence showing him alongside the Columbine attackers, according to a state official who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to address the media. ...
