Everyone okay?

Apparently someone robbed a bank!

(I learned of this because of a robocall from daughter’s school saying that they were sheltering in place...)

I'm rolling my eyes at that headline: "Alleged shooter still at large"

If someone fires a gun in a bank and we haven't arrested the person who did it, there's no "alleged" about it.

It's alleged that he shot a gun. Leaving aside the legal need to say alleged, it's not like we've seen tape of a person shooting a gun. There's one report that he shot it. He may not have; it's not like these reports are always accurate. Thus, alleged.
