Everything about this runs counter to messaging.
The perps are gay and trans. Status: Bad story.
They used handguns (a pistol and a revolver), which they could not have obtained legally. Status: Worse story.
The school was secured by quick-thinking cops, but the attack was stopped by quick-thinking students, one of whom died for his efforts. Status: Unreportable story.
Watch this one vanish from the press.

Maybe this would just be a "feel good" act, but the shooting victim Kendrick Castillo was a Marine recruit. Be nice if the Marine Corps sent an honor guard or somehow otherwise recognize/honor him. Not even an official Marine yet demonstrated tremendous bravery. We should remember his name and never ever mention the names of the shooters.
