Well.
When I got up today, I ran the shooter's name in Google to see if anything new had been learned as I slept. Imagine my surprise when I found this Google entry for his Wikipedia page:

Look carefully at the last line... "assassinated July 13, 2024"? Now the shooter was "assassinated"? And here I was, thinking he had been neutralized AFTER firing on a crowd and endangering lives.
But now he was "assassinated"? Here was I, thinking HE was the assassin rather than the victim of the assassination attempt....
And I've also noticed a disturbing tendency for reports to feature a photo of him as a child, from several years ago, rather than the current threat he was. Playing for sympathy?
Is there someone "out there" trying to convert this would be assassin into a martyr?
