Had a similar thought.  Gauging the response? I don't know if school/mall-shooters are more likely to plan things out or do it in a passion though.   I keep seeing Ethiopia/Africa as a possible source, but I don't understand that motivation either.  I do expect some local (US) fuQwads to copycat this just to sow terror though.
We just had I want to say one school shooting threat and another threat to shoot up a costco in just the last week.
This seems to be now a pretty consistent thing we're just going to live with. It sucks. I hate this timeline. >

I think 3 Walmarts in my area had false shooter reports last week or so. >

I wonder if someone is doing this to cry wolf before they go do it for real. Or perhaps doing this as a diversion to commit other crimes while police are busy with it?
