has anyone else noticed that in these mass shootings, the people who get shot but don't quite die are referred to as having been "injured."
now maybe I'm crazy or just wrong, but it sounds like the MSM are using "injured" because it just seems to SOUND less severe than "shot."
I assume that since these guns are created for maximum lethality, pretty much anybody who stops one of those bullets is probably never going to be physically okay ever again. the psychological maiming can be taken for granted.
it's pretty upsetting that this guy (clearly psychotic and probably bipolar, since schizophrenia is almost never something that begins when you're forty-ish) has managed to successfully elude law enforcement for (as of 7:00 PM) close to a whole day.
I take your point re 'injured' v. 'wounded' or 'shot', I recall from one or more of the press conferences held during the hunt for the killer, it was clarified that a number of injuries resulted from panicked people trying to get away, some falling down and being trampled on. Don't yet know how many actually shot but not killed and how many injuring in the ensuing panic.

Yeah and that he was still on active duty in the army Reserves doesn't say much for the Army.
Semper Fi.
