I'm hearing that a total of four people have been shot. Still too early to tell if that is correct or not.

2 people are confirmed dead.

Is this the next (American) mass shooting of 2019?

At this point it doesn't look like it, but it is a shooting that has gained some media attention, so that says something I guess.

Even if you took out the shootings where no one died, the list would still be pretty long. However, the vast majority of these shootings, just like the vast majority of murders, come off as being spur-of-the-moment and not planned out to any genuine extent.

They said the shooter was 33 years old. No names yet
