World of RandomThere's a pile of scrap timber, rubble and general turds in the road opposite my work with a hand-written sign reading "Free Shed". Tell us about random, completely hatstand stuff and people you've seen

Most people haven't seen a shooting before so the slang usage of the word would more than likely be correctEither way, please stop going on about it now.

The slang usage almost certainly wouldn't be correct there at all.

You said:'the slang usage just implies that the witness hasn't seen a shooting before'
And they probably hadn't
So it would be right.
So shut up guy

Yes - the slang usage implies that the witness hasn't seen a shooting before - instead of implying that there was a random element to the shooting, eg that the shooter seemed to be indiscriminate in who he was targeting. So the slang usage is misleading or confusing, which was my original point anyway.
