Shooting/bomb at El Centro?
Posted by AnnihilatorJedi@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 82 comments
My wife’s building on lockdown near el centro and all I see is one report of a shooting there today. Anyone heard anything else?
Now there’s a bomb robot!
tastelikemexico@reddit
Our wives work in the same building lol
DallasOil@reddit
El Centro downtown has to be the least ideal school to attend in all of DFW.
tabrizzi@reddit
So what's the point of the "NSFW" tag?
icansmellcolors@reddit
I wondered the same thing.
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
well, for one it's a bomb. my wife is at work. so, Not Safe For Work is actually a very literal tag, not to mention anyone that might have some reaction to the situation itself.
tabrizzi@reddit
That still does not explain how or why the word "bomb" is NSFW. The word itself appears in the title of the post, which doesn't hide it from anybody "might have some reaction to the situation itself".
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
🤦♂️ Tell me, in what context is talking about a bomb SFW?
In the moment of posting, I figured it was more likely that the mod would take offense and delete it if I DIDN’T add the tag, so it was safer to add the tag and deal with …people… like yourself. Fortunately there’s just been a couple of …special… people like you.
sealclubberfan@reddit
It's just a picture, where is the bomb. Geesus, do you live in bubble wrap or something?
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
It’s just a bomb threat in a downtown area with hundreds of thousands of people. What’s wrong with you that you DON’T think this should have a NSFW tag?
sealclubberfan@reddit
Its just a picture, that has nothing bad in it that would be nsfw......now if a bomb exploded and there was remnants of cars and such, then yes, I would consider that NSFW. But its just like any other picture really.....
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
It’s the whole post dumbass. Not just a picture.
sealclubberfan@reddit
I think what's making this NSFW is your language.
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
Ohhh nooo I called someone being a dumbass a dumbass…. Whatever will we do?
sealclubberfan@reddit
Grumpy, go relax. Your question has already been answered.
HeemiAphro@reddit
Thank you for this picture, we cannot figure ANYTHING out.
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
What my wife sent right before moving to the other side of the building
sealclubberfan@reddit
That's great, wtf are we supposed to be looking at? There's just some cars......
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
my deepest apologies for my wife not being a journalist and sticking around to suss out the story from the window in her office building.
I_SmellFuckeryAfoot@reddit
why blame your wife? she didnt post a picture about anything to reddit
NoMudNoLotus369@reddit
Mmm, apologize more sincerely...
VCTRYDTX@reddit
Seems to be law enforcement vehicles in the middle of the street and a bomb squad truck. Too blurry but someone said there's a robot as well and another person saying the black SUV supposedly has a bomb inside. I mean, it's something.
Crashing_Bandicoot75@reddit
I thought that was Freddy Krueger on that building
erod100@reddit
It would be pretty difficult to go up in Bank of America tower elevator no?
scsibusfault@reddit
legitimately: walk in with a clipboard, smile at the security guy, know the name of an office and say you're a vendor/tech/something, and they'll badge you up. They're super nice. Even works on weekends for the freight elevators.
endless_shrimp@reddit
why
AngelinFlipFlops@reddit
One might need some kind of key fob to use the elevator since it is an office building, similar to some hotel elevators
_El_Barto@reddit
>DPD said in an update that the car and package were cleared and no threat was found. The driver is in custody on charges related to obstructing the road, DPD said.

TragicEE@reddit
I imagine if Iran had Reddit, they would be making posts like this none stop and people would still be satirical lmao “it’s not a drone that’s obviously a b2 bomber lol gg” “does anyone know if this is a nuke? -insert flying Dorito image2-” etc..
Particular_Might6767@reddit
Your wife is in BOA building same as me. Yeah seems like its a bomb lol
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
Not really a lol situation as far as I’m concerned
BigSmoothplaya@reddit
lol is kind of a tension breaker at this point. Don’t think they meant anything by it
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
I don’t think they did either, but a little nervous giggle in person doesn’t really translate into typing, I just wanted to point out that my wife was potentially in danger so it wasn’t funny to me.
TragicEE@reddit
She’s okay it’s not a bomb
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
correct, but it was a while before we knew that. worry is OK when loved ones are in danger.
TragicEE@reddit
Oh yeah totally agree with you on that part, the internet doesn’t take things seriously though that is certain
dan1361@reddit
My dude, HIS life is in danger. lol
I hope everyone is ok.
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
yeah, but I care less about him. he can laugh if he wants, it wasn't funny to me. ¯\_(ツ)_//¯
Hey_Stupid@reddit
"lol" /jkjk
Staff_Beautiful@reddit
He’s not laughing, he sits in the corner and watches.

My wife’s on lockdown and we have no idea what’s going on
tabrizzi@reddit
Your wife is on lockdown?
supavillan@reddit
COVID 2
edgarsh@reddit
So what was it?
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
From what we saw on the news, there was a big sword. Didn’t see anything else dangerous that they pulled out. Luggage and books and laptop and a statue. I mean, the sword at least might’ve been sharp.
Different_Formal_135@reddit
Doors and hood open.must not be a bomb threat anymore. Wonder why they are looking into it? You would think if it was a bomb threat that they would be a little more covered up
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
Might’ve heard a knock in the engine, checking the timing belt tensioning or something…
nickgomez@reddit
Tahoe/Suburban has a timing chain not a timing belt

Just got the all clear from the DCCCD automated alert system. False alarm?

Another shooting at El Centro? Did some one forget about July 7, 2017?

Hey, I’m stuck in the same building!
ForzaFenix@reddit
I'm stuck next door to you.
ForzaFenix@reddit
I'm the next building over from you. Cant see anything but a police blockade on the streets.
txnewsprincess@reddit
Details: https://www.dmagazine.com/micropost/possible-bomb-threat-downtown-shuts-down-streets/
Basically, cops pulled over a black Tahoe around 10 a.m. and thought they saw something looking like a bomb. I know for sure El Centro and Bank of America are locked down, and there are several streets blocked off. Roughly a couple dozen units responding.

There's a helicopter hovering now.
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
Fox is shooting from something in the air. The movement to me says helicopter? Drones are usually steadier?

The livestream looks like a camera from another building.

Bomb threat on a DART train

Where did you hear that?
waitstaph@reddit
I went and asked a DART officer
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
Wife says robot looking at a black truck
waitstaph@reddit
The black truck I see is the bomb squad truck parked on the tracks. Maybe it was a bomb threat at the station because there aren’t any trains here.
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
Robot near black suv, 2 blocks from Dart
Remote_Display_4472@reddit
They have the entire block blocked off
AnnihilatorJedi@reddit (OP)
Where did you hear that?
BurritoBrigadier@reddit
I got a notification from work that there was a police presence and a bomb threat around El Centro or 1100 commerce. No other details yet though
