Not going to talk about the shooting itself or its possible consequences, because there are enough firing from the hip opinions and conspiracy theories already without my hot take.
However, what really astonished me is that even after sounds of bullets most people made no attempt to leave. Probably a good thing as a stampede would have killed more people, but it was jaw-dropping watching people standing still and filming on their phones as if they were at a Disney spectacular. The line between social media and real life is getting so thin it's pretty much disappeared.
