Boulder Colorado Grocery Store Shooting, Media Narrative Discrepancies

A mass shooting at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, results in ten fatalities. Media coverage from NPR and Fox News is contrasted, specifically regarding the speed at which a racial or religious motive was assigned compared to the Atlanta spa shootings. The suspect, 21-year-old Ahmad Al-Aliwi Al-Issa, is described by family as paranoid and antisocial, while reports indicate he purchased a Ruger AR-556 pistol shortly before the attack.
