UK Karens activated?

I don't think we should get in the habit of calling it "Karen" to report a mass killing

Persom didnt call to report "mass shooting"

This person made a false report.

Wasting resources... In US, police is known to kill people who they were supposed to be "saving" because they got "scared"

This was at best negligence and should not be glorified

Making a false report is only a bad thing if they did it maliciously. I'm assuming they did it out of naivety rather than out of malice. In the UK the police are less inclined to kill people for no reason (of course, it does happen but it's way less likely).
