  - but not dead, taken to hospital at this point -- nm - zork Oct 31, 13:42
  - Seems really early to make that call -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 13:39 1

  - from refreshing Jack's link below, it looks like maybe no shooting except by police. (warning, they added video with an ad to the page.) -- nm - b.oo! Oct 31, 13:18 7
    - The driver hit people on the bike path then drove off and hit a school bus. The van stopped running and he got out and started shooting. -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 31, 13:29
    - I hope so. Maybe Krusty's sister saw the driver holding a gun, even though he never fired it. -- nm - mara Oct 31, 13:24 5
      - Caps are now saying imitation firearms. She may have happened on the scene just as the cops were shooting. Yoicks. -- (link) - mara Oct 31, 13:28 3

        Yeah, I imagine that would be almost impossible to ascertain. AP's tweet make it sound like other witnesses thought so too. -- (link) - mara Oct 31, 13:36
        
        It appears so. -- nm - zork Oct 31, 13:36
