[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world [S] 15 points 2 years ago (2 children) Someone at a kids' event shoots a gun "at least a dozen times" — that's not shooting up the event? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago No. It's shooting within the event and/or near it but not at it or any of the participants. The phrase "shot up" infers that the subject was the target. But I get the sentiment of wanting to phrase it in a way that conveys the most amount of danger and insanity. permalink fedilink source parent
