    Social media's role in the Discovery Shooter situation

    By FiveMikes  |  Posted September 2, 2010  |  Bowie, Maryland
     

    I'm about 15 miles away from Silver Spring. After my lunch break, I looked at Twitter and noticed that there was something going on. Turned on the news, went online to news sites...and they were silent. Twitter (at least in yesterday's situation w/ the shooter at Discovery) was much more informative in regards to "breaking" news. Thoughts?
