    I remember hanging on to our phones when our daughter was in school in Boston, hiding out in a restaurant just blocks from where the bomb went off at the marathon years ago. We told her not to go anywhere until they found that guy. Of course she walked back to her dorm.

    I think it used to happen automatically? I have been meaning to ask, too, because I feel like it's still showing for me when some posters do it but not others?

    Fortunately, the boy plays baseball and when things started to unfold, he and a few other players high-tailed it to the baseball stadium. Pretty much a fortress, so no concern for them, but still lots of worries for others.

    Use the share button under the tweet instead of copying the address out of the address bar. The share button is on the far right, I believe.

    A friend of mine's son is a phd student there and had to shelter in place for three hours. He said the shooter was a grad student and went killed his professor. It seemed like more of an outright murder than a random shooter situation.
