The report for multiple shooters on U.S. Air Force base only took 19 seconds???? All the other international reports were at least 2 min. Why was this not given more time to alert the American people? 19 second report? What were the nationalities of these shooters? Very poor and vague reporting. Be vigilant. Stay strapped.
