"Active shooter" suggests that shots are being fired, but all it means is that shots might have been fired, and someone out there might have a gun, and has not been identified.

So they go into lockdown mode until they figure it out.

Hoping that nobody comes out injured or dead.

It may take someone rich and famous being harmed...someone that supports guns etc...before they wake up. Just like with HIV. It took rich and famous victims to get the national wake up call.
