The media has glossed over the reports of incidents at other locations by reminding us that police scanner audios are unreliable accounts of what did or did not happen. If a police unit is assigned to travel to a location where gunfire was reported in order to investigate the presence of an active shooter, and they then report back 'Negative shots fired at this location', we may correctly assume that nothing happened there and that whoever made the initial call to police was mistaken.
