Well you obviously heard about it somehow. Could've said "according to [xyz source]" like a school alert, police scanner, etc. I didn't say it had to be a news source or internet link.

A general rule is you shouldn't make any kind of alarming claim without some kind of source.

Yep my wife, who works in Manchester when it was locked down. But is my word any more reliable or trustworthy to you? It doesn't seem like it.

So you could've easily included text saying that and gained a lot of credibility.

Wow, someone got real upset they couldn't brag about knowing someone involved in a shooting that happened near a school.

I don't live near the area and genuinely don't care. I'm more interested in good news-sharing. A tiny bit of extra effort would've gone a long way in making this a much more useful post.
