did he make it thru security with a pistol?


No, he didn't. And the first 8 hours of most breaking news stories tend to look much differently from the final "story".

All media sources should be required to report the following in stories about shootings in similar outline form at the start of the article/story.

Shooter: name, age, citizenship/unknown
Previous criminal record: yes/no/unknown
Gun obtained legally: yes/no/unknown
Gun used: make and model/unknown
Type of gun: rifle/handgun/shotgun/ unknown
Fire selection: single,semiauto,auto/unknown
Shooting prevented/ended by: legally armed citizen, illegally armed citizen, armed LEO, un armed individual/unknown


Then at the back of the paper or web page there should be a section referencing the original article/story with all of that information updated monthly on every shooting reported on until sentencing for surviving known shooters, or for 1 yr for all other shootings. The summary information should include the results of sentencing and a list of the prosecuted laws.

media outlets recurrently presenting incorrect information above a certain threshold should be held financially accountable and their individual accurate reporting rankings should be made public.

The purpose of the media outlets is supposed to be the delivery of raw infromation to the public.

Sadly the information would not support their agenda.
