The Spin
Narrative A
This horrific attack should serve as a wake-up call to the issues of gun violence in Croatia. More needs to be done to regulate gun ownership in the country so violence like this can't happen again. Many unregistered guns, like the one used in the shooting, remain from the wars in the 1990s. This should be a warning that more rigorous gun control laws need to be put into place.
Narrative B
Mass shootings, like this one, are very rare in Croatia. This attack is unprecedented, and it's too early to draw larger conclusions. While people can speculate, the motive of this attack is still unknown, and more answers to this tragedy will not be available until the investigation is concluded and the attacker is brought to justice.
