Today I noticed the flag at the VA hospital in FL at half-staff. I wondered why and searched the interwebs but found nothing. Maybe I'm missing it

Posting to you from the 21st floor of the Excalibur overlooking Las Vegas blvd

We just came back from walking outside, observing what was going on close by but not really getting any news.

I’m surprised to learn the shooter was deceased so long ago, streets are still shut down here, police are everywhere.

Can anyone tell me what I missed?

Those hours were spent searching the campus, finding and helping evacuate all the students that were sheltering. And then searching again after everyone was evacuated.

A huge effort that must have been scary for everyone. It seems to have been handled really well by all first responders. I feel grateful 🥲
