What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on the core count of four people killed at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, with the suspect also dead, and several name the victims as three children and a teacher. The main divergence is in framing and detail: AP and CBS emphasize a bystander or witness who shot the suspect, BBC and France 24 foreground police descriptions, and The Guardian is the only outlet here to note critical injuries in its later extract. Fox and some CBS/60 Minutes items use shorter, more generic headlines, while ABC and CNN focus on updates and investigation.
