The Shooter Act
A man has taken over terminal 4 in LAX. He’s pulled his gun out and forced everyone to take pictures of him—of what he’s wearing. The QR codes he has pinned to his shirt all link to different web addresses, and as the pictures spread across social media, the world begins to pour over his manifesto. The Shooter has just transformed himself into an information virus.
But as soon as he pulled the trigger he also became something else: the newest target of The Shooter Act. If they catch him, they’ll erase him from history, systematically deleting all record that he ever existed.
The man with the gun knows this especially well because he’s one of the people who helped get the law passed. That’s why it has to be him. He’s the only one who might be able to convince everyone that the law has gone too far, and that it’s being used to hide a murder that implicates some of the most powerful people in the world.
