When I first heard the news my mind went back to the death of FF Ryan Hummert back in 2008. Was his first ever fire call, and it was a set up by a guy who intentionally set fire to a truck to draw them in. Eventually the shooter burnt to death in a second fire in the house across the street from the truck fire.

As for the current incident I hope they find him/them. The scariest part IMO right now is they have no clue how many shooters there are.
