Why Troubling News:

While reporting on the horrific school shooting in Wisconsin the writer for this article makes a few claims that come across as unsavory to me. One of those things is discussing if the shooter was possibly transgender which had no backing what so ever. Which was compounded by one of the social media posts it has in the article by Mostly Peaceful Memes stating "Female or 'Female.'" The article also states that since the shooter is not a male or used an AR-15 that it will leave the news cycle quickly. There was no need for these types of comments on reporting about the terrible shooting as many things were unknown at the time and things would be learned over time as the police investigate. As well as trying to perpetuate unknown claims of the shooter being transgender as reports were stating that it was a bological female who commited the crime.
