Police reporting there is an active shooter at The Gorge Amphitheater in Grant County, Washington.
I'm hearing unconfirmed scanner reports that the shooter is "down". Also hearing two blacks, two red, and one yellow - this usually refers to injuries.
I’ve been speaking with sources about exactly what transpired and how things went so far downhill Sunday for #FrankOcean + #Coachella…so here you go 👇
The stage production was suppose to (and did) contain an ice rink that was constructed and ready to go.
Frank decided at the last minute that he no longer wanted it at all. All of the people walking around him at the start of the performance were actually ice skaters, had been practicing for weeks, and were supposed to be skating as part of the production. Coachella had to deconstruct the approved stage (that had been planned and signed off on for months in advance) + melt the entire ice rink and then set it up how Frank decided today with no warning. Which is what you ended up seeing, and caused the hour long delay. This all happened when doors had already open for Sunday, and people were securing their spots to see him. If the last minute changes weren’t made he wouldn’t have performed at all — leaving the festival without a closing headliner.
Frank also personally pulled the plug at the last second on the live stream which left a very sour taste in many inside Coachella mouths.
Ultimately, and I quote — “It just didn’t seem like he wanted to be there but was obligated to be. Everything (including him) fell apart last minute.
Don’t expect to see any coverage from the festival about the set. Something that is unprecedented in the history of Coachella. The relationship is not in a good place right now.”

I genuinely hate to say this — but #FrankOcean’s show tonight has been a PR disaster for @Coachella.
The entire thing felt forced, unprepared and just sad. Possibly the worst headliner, ever? Shocking, tbh.
Some serious changes and or adjustments are needed before Weekend 2. 😶🌫️
Do you know what grinds my gears: no matter how old you get or how far up the corporate ladder you climb there will still always be that one person who doesn’t “pull their weight on the group project”
Meet the TX man who’s making customized caskets for each of the 19 young victims and two teachers from the school shooting in #Uvalde. Trey Ganem visited with the families last week so each casket is personalized to include each child's interests.

This tweet from 2015 is still up. From the governor of Texas who just announced the mass murder of 14 kids to the world. I wonder if he's still "EMBARRASSED" about Texas not selling enough guns.
