Dan Kletter 🥑#TheDailyTarHeel is the independent student newspaper for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Their front page for today (August 30th) are texts sent and received by students during the active shooter lockdown.
#TheDailyTarHeel Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to include every text message in the image’s alt-text, so I will post it here:

Aquiel ‘Aqi’ DracoAre you ok? Not sure what to think of your all caps toots
@AqiDraco Those are the text messages sent to and from students during yesterday’s active shooter incident in North Carolina. I wasn’t able to get it all in the alt-text of the image so I reposted it. Probably should add a hashtag?
viNomadic@soundclamp @AqiDraco please! Just checked in and it gave me quite a start until I scrolled down the thread!
Oh, I did not get the context. Just saw the all Caps toots. I’m sorry to hear about another active shooter incident. 😔
@AqiDraco Yeah, I can see that. Mastodon doesn’t seem to handle threads (multiple posts strung together) as well as I thought.
