News reports what they know in real time
I know it’s easy to get fired up, but in a chaotic situation like this we need to take in info and not jump to conclusions.
Likely this was the immediate headline when it was unknown what really happened. Or could even be web folks who didn’t have all the info yet from the tv side. Let’s not assume it was a malicious fake news headline.
If we want real time news then we have to be prepared for the story to be refined as more information is uncovered. Now we know it was a shooter. The shooter is dead. An attendee is dead and another also shot and hurt. And it appears that the bullet that hit Trump was an inch away from severe damage.
But all that info takes time to gather. Let’s not increase the anger levels more than they already are. It was a terrible event today.
