Well breaking news stories have a way of shrinking and growing so I'm not sure I'd personally be focusing on the semantics at all till more data is available. I know that there's severe negatives to whipping up a froth, but it's a small video game forum, not the CNN chiron.

Can we please not create headlines on "Mass Stabbings" if all the "reporting" you have is a Twitter Account talking about 2 people getting stabbed after a conflict between 2 people? It's sensationalist and nothing else. There are hundreds of people getting stabbed across the world each day, creating a Thread for each and them framing it as a "mass stabbing" pobably isn't a good idea.

This seems like the height of guess reporting in the moment, without actually having much of a clue what is going on.

Then maybe we wait on confirmation before we call it a "mass stabbing"?

I see what you did there OP. I like your style.

This is what a "mass casualty" incident looks like if we had proper gun control

titles can change quite easily and so can death tolls. you're holding a forum to higher standards than half of the media

Yes they can. So when it is confirmed as a mass stabbing you can change the title?
I'm not holding up the media to any standards here, and I'm not part of any media's community, so I have no vested interest there. Not sure why you bring that up, as I said nothing of the sort.
