A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Sounds odd. For one, who gets up at the crack of dawn for a shooting. Why did the gunman shoot himself but is only "down"? Is he dead?

"Down", in this context, means the shooter is injured or dead and is no longer an active threat. He might also be dead but that is a determination for the EMTs, coroner or whomever.
