The Spin
Narrative A
This was a deeply troubling act of violence that has no space in the streets of Utah. Authorities must continue to investigate this incident to the best of their efforts.
Narrative B
While peacekeepers do not typically carry weapons and are normally instructed not to do so, and the death of an innocent bystander is tragic, the actions of these individuals likely prevented a much graver mass casualty event.
