But why "active" in the first place. Is it just trying to sound tacticool? You don't say active driver or active toddler

Because “active” tells you the shooter is still out there and to be cautious. When the article was first written, it was an active shooter situation.

When the article was written it was a shooter situation, exactly the same

Tacticool journalism 🤮🤢

Just like burglarized Vs burgled

Wouldn't "burglarized" mean "turned into a burglary"? Like if you were trespassing, then decided to steal something, your presence there was burglarized.

It also suggests the existence of burglarism
