Ha it's literally been covered by every single MSM outlet 🤣
The "narrative" line is so played out and lazy, at least check before using it.

Armed bystander credited with preventing more deaths in Indiana shooting
The gunman who killed three people in a shopping mall near Indianapolis would likely have taken many more lives if not for the "heroic" actions of an armed bystander who shot the suspect dead and stopped the attack, police said on Monday.

It doesn't get the obsessive coverage that other incidents do, and that's the point.
The only issue is why there are not universal background checks, which while not foolproof would make it much more difficult for people such as this from being able to purchase a firearm.
Sad.
Newark, NJ : 9 shot over the weekend, 2 dead
Chicago, IL : 25 shot, 8 dead
Etc, etc.

Interpret everything literally as much as you want, I'll keep laughing at your naivete.
Neither does the fire that was extinguished by a fireman before it started raging.
People will tune in to watch a tragedy. Nothing to do with a narrative.

So now we shouldnt take your words literally?
Thanks for letting us know you're not to be taken serious.
3 people died. Not a tragedy? Tragedies every weekend in Baltimore, Chicago, NY, Philly don’t make the news at all.
You’re being naïve if you don’t think there is a media bias towards certain narratives.
Every shooting that involves any rifle is now termed “an AR-15 style” gun. Why do we never hear about the shooting of an “unarmed white man”. If Nikki Haley is a Presidential candidate her coverage will be far less complementary than Hillary or Kamala. Do you think the reporting of Michelle Obama and Melania Trump was balanced and fair? The story has gotten light coverage because reporting on the benefits of concealed carry is not in vogue.
Didn't say it wasn't a tragedy... Had the gunman been on a rampage and was stopped after 30 min or something, it would have made more headlines. It ended so quickly, and ended up not much different than other shootings that happen every weekend... and got about the same coverage.
Just commenting that the "good guy with a gun" succeeding isn't a sexy story that sells unfortunately. That's not what people are tuning in for.
I think it's pretty obvious when someone is being sarcastic or serious. But you do you, I really don't care.
Yeah, nobody wants to know the story of a hero…keep trying to convince yourself of that one.
"People will tune in to watch a tragedy." This is a tragedy. The networks won't cover this constantly for a reason. Might have something to do with narrative.
and you think media companies are all in agreement and are just glossing over a story that will get them ratings because of a narrative?...
Yes…don’t be so naive. Not every news story is about ratings otherwise the lead story would be about Ben Affleck and Ja-Lo.
Sigh... Thanks for reminding me why I was ignoring this board for a bit.
The good guy with a gun stopping a rampage is not the tragedy of the good guy with the gun not being there.
And because of that, it will get less coverage that what it would have otherwise.
If we're going to have a real conversation about guns, this is part of the full conversation, but the media only has the conversation at certain times.
The story has received very light coverage for the simple reason that, sadly in 2022 three people being shot and killed in a mall is no longer news.

"Good guy with a gun stopping a mass shooting" is extremeley rare, as in 5% of the time, according to @HALL85 favorite news website.
Do good guys with guns often stop mass shooters?
Data from researchers at Texas State University suggests bystanders stop active attacks about 16% of the time, although typically without using a gun.

So it should be a good story to cover."Good guy with a gun stopping a mass shooting" is extremeley rare, as in 5% of the time, according to @HALL85 favorite news website.

it doesnt get the coverage that other incidents do on the non msm sources you like.
Yes there are heroics that happen every day that don’t get coverage on any media. There are cops, fireman and ordinary citizens that do heroic things that never get covered by national media. Why? I don’t know but that’s whT it is. You all know the names of the serial killers in this country. Do you know the names of the detectives that caught them?
There are heroic stories covered but they need to have a certain angle. You know that, This mass shooting (which they all get plenty of coverage) had a very different outcome that was the result of a lawful gun owner with concealed carry neutralizing the assailant. How often has that happened? Yes, ignoring or naive…pick your choice.
When serial killers becomes a political football then I think we should address every angle. Not pick and choose which stories are out there for public consumption every minute of the day and ones that get shown for a few minutes. As far as this topic goes. Throw it in everyone’s face when a terrible event happens, but also throw it in everyone’s face when a good man saves people. Then let Americans decide which way to go.

The national media has covered the story and the man who stopped the shooter. A quick google search shows this.
