The Spin

Narrative A

This tragedy could have been prevented if more decisive action had been taken. The gunman had been unstable since the death of his 14-year-old son in 2012, reportedly acting aggressively against the Valleverde Consortium of which he was part. Other members had denounced him to authorities over threats and nothing was ever done.

Narrative B

This tragic event is an exception to the remarkable fact that Italy has a gun culture, but does not experience mass shootings. Sensible regulations and restrictions mean that Italy's population — unlike, for instance, the US — is largely safe from mass shooting violence.
