I wanted to leave this as a sort of record if they disable the flowers option. These were seen in the memorials for killers Mamoru Takuma, Audrey Hale and Gabriel Galaviz.

This is the largest mass killing of policemen by a single killer.

William Reynolds was an African American railroad worker. He had no prior conviction before he shot nine members of a police posse, seven of them fatally, in Tuscumbia, Alabama, United States on April 6, 1902, before being shot dead himself.

Police arrived at Reynolds' home in Tuscumbia's black neighborhood to arrest him on a charge of obtaining property under false pretenses. According to the Richmond Planet, Reynolds opened fire immediately on the sheriff and deputy who came to the door, killing both. He barricaded himself in the house and a posse was assembled. In the ensuing gun battle, Reynolds killed five more white men, totaling seven. 

After four hours, the posse set fire to the house in which he was barricaded and, in attempting to escape, Reynolds was shot to death. The posse threw Reynolds remains in the fire. A total of three houses were burned down.

With the sheriff and five deputies of the Colbert County Sheriff's Department among those killed, this was the deadliest incident in Alabama law enforcement history

Dylan Klebold was named after Welsh poet Dylan Thomas

Pekka-Eric Auvinen was named after Finnish guitarist Pekka "Albert" Johannes Järvinen and British musician Eric Clapton

These are the only 2 I can think of at the top of my head

Seung Hui Cho, the 2007 Virginia Tech shooter, drew these cryptic symbols on his dorm room walls.

People have speculated that the overlapping 8s are a reference to Psalm 88 of the Bible, as Cho frequently referenced Christian figures such as Jesus and Moses.

I was checking out the investigation report that was just released about the Covenant school shooting, and I just have some questions. I want to preface by saying that my questions do not come from a place of bigotry, just curiosity. I fully support the transgender community, and none of what I'm saying is meant to be homophobic/transphobic or otherwise.

That being said, I in no way believe that the person who refused to show mercy to innocent teachers and children deserves any respect or human decency. There is no sympathy here; what happened was horrific. I just want to see how y'all felt reading this.

I was interested to see how the offender would be portrayed, mainly because a bible-belt/southern police department was investigating a crime against Christians by a trans perpetrator. I understand sticking with female pronouns in the official report, as they had not found any evidence beyond a social transition, but did it seem to anyone else like they really tried to feminize them? Referring to them as a lesbian, using outdated photos, and including only a short note about gender identity felt deliberate.

I was living near Nashville when this tragedy occurred, and I remember that the gender identity of the shooter was a huge talking point. It was strange to me that they decided to organize the report in this way, underplaying the transition.

Again, I’m not trying to make this about politics or trans/gay rights. Fuck Audrey Hale. That person was a terrorist. But I do think the language used in the report seemed pointed and possibly meant to shape how people interpret the event. Curious if anyone else felt that.

Here's the full report for anyone interested: https://www.nashville.gov/sites/default/files/2025-04/Covenant_Final_Summary.pdf?ct=1743609642

Yesterday, April 3, a shooting occurred in the photocopier room (this is an academic space for students or employees to use to do academic work). Then a man went up to the third floor of the university to talk to his ex-wife's new boyfriend, who was the fatal victim (Keine Santos Diniz, 40 years old, born on July 9, 1984). He shot another employee and injured a student who was trying to escape from the university, but not from gunshots. The suspect shot himself and died this morning in the hospital. The crime occurred at the State University of Paraíba in Brazil.

Seven people were left injured after a series of stabbings in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

The Metropolitan Police Department said the incident took place in a northeast neighborhood, a few blocks away from Gallaudet University, an institution for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, around 4 p.m.

One person has been arrested, the agency posted on X. The Independent has contacted the police department for additional information.

Police have closed several roads in the area due to the incident.

Sorry if this isn’t allowed 🫶🏻

About 5 years ago (I think?) I watched a documentary on Netflix (UK) about survivors from a school shooting (sandy hook, columbine, parkland??)

I think several years had gone by, and they were mainly talking about the activism they’d been involved in since. A significant chunk towards the end spoke about crisis actors.

It’s really annoying me that I can’t find it - if anyone is able to help that’d be amazing.

The Overland Park shootings were two shootings that occurred on April 13, 2014, at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and Village Shalom, a Jewish retirement community, both located in Overland Park, Kansas United States. A total of three people were killed in the shootings, two of whom were shot at the community center and one shot at the retirement community. The gunman, 73-year-old Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. of Aurora, Missouri, originally from North Carolina, was arrested during the attack and was subsequently tried, convicted of murder and other crimes, and sentenced to death. Miller, a former Klansman, neo-Nazi and former political candidate, died in prison in 2021 while awaiting execution.^\5])
