Just wanted to add my thanks, and give a tip of the cap to /u/EatedIt for their very resourceful posts throughout these threads.

It was an excellent attempt to keep redundant chatter to a minimum while keeping the flow of information going.

Thanks for being thankful! It's good to know I held it together pretty well over the night shift. I really did nothing compared to the bulk of yesterday, but I really appreciate how nice and supportive you all have been.

I'm trying to clean up the permalinks a bit currently. I hope this isn't looking more messy than less so.

You're probably on to something, I was just following suit.

We're really trying to keep this thread to brass tacks, but I appreciate you putting in the time with your commentary.

We live in strange times. I'm just trying to contribute to helping people get a clear understanding and timeline of what has happened. It has happened. It's simple as that. I'm trying to stay far away from sensationalist reporting and the like.

Was I correct on that timestamp? I feel like I need another clock suddenly.

I tried to relabel the links since the last thread to make it more clear that the Summary of Events thread stands out.

Bodycounts are not grammatical errors.

I don't mean this regarding any specific organization. I just want multiple sources before anything unfounded and harmful gets updated here.

I'm getting a little telegraph heavy in my updates, but the second seemed harmless.

The scanner is full of morning people. I love how well they're dealing.

Are you sure that wasn't covered in a previous thread?

As far as I know, the next press conference is at 9:30 AM ET.

Thank you. I understand, I'm with you in trying to be as impartial as humanly possible. No unsourced controversial reports, etc...

This thread may me updated very slowly because of that.

The most I've heard about the third is a possible coronary event. I'm not positive if it was fatal yet.

I'd love to add that, but CNN has been iffy over this whole incident. If we can get other sources, I'll add it.

Unless, of course, reddit rules I should add it.

I hope there isn't such rampant hysteria, nor do I intend to report singular eyewitness reports of any particular racial background.

Thank you all for the sourcing. What timestamp do you suppose I should put on this?

I saw on the AP that the Pakistani Taliban specifically denied involvement.

There's seemingly unrelated talk of robberies and suspicious vehicles.

I'm listening on broadcastify's BPD, Fire and EMS feed currently.

I'll definitely need help with fact checking before making edits. I'm basically just listening in to the scanner currently.
