I'm not sure what fixed it because I tried multiple things yesterday, but it shutdown normally last night.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Attempting to kill init means that something tried to kill PID 1. That's... abnormal outside of a shutdown. But it can be normal during shutdown. So uhh... yeah: if it continues to be a problem then it needs to be reported and fixed by your distribution. What distribution are you using?
I see kernel panics at shutdown most often on Arch-based distros after updating system packages.
It sucks when it happens during shutdown but it's typically not going to cause other problems... except perhaps not automatically booting if you wanted to reboot instead of shutdown.
I'm using the XFCE edition of Linux Mint. The Kernel updated yesterday morning, could that have something to do with it?
A kernel update, if it's done right, shouldn't cause a panic. But not every distro does updates right.
If you know the old version and the new version then it might be useful to reach out to the Mint community and see if they're aware of issues like that.

I don't know what the previous version was but I'll still post about it to the forums. Thanks.
So basically every shutdown lol
When I tried Arch, upgrading kernel would delete the kernel modules of the running kernel
somewhat unimpressive upgrade process.
This dude kernel panics
