The Spin

Narrative A

The discovery of Tamura’s notes opens a new avenue of investigation into the motivations behind this appalling attack. Law enforcement will reconstruct the series of events that led to this tragedy by probing the perpetrator’s social media, visiting his family home in Las Vegas, and analyzing his note further to glimpse any new clues or details.

Narrative B

The murder of a New York police officer and three civilians on Monday is yet another example of the epidemic of gun violence plaguing the streets of America. For decades, the authorities have allowed mass shootings to become commonplace in the U.S., ruining countless lives in the process. The latest shooting shows that the time has come for decisive action.
