What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the same broad event in Wichita and on the death toll, with The Guardian US saying two people, including a child, were killed and the Associated Press specifying a 6-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man. Their framing differs in the extra details: the AP adds that 11 others were injured and hospitalized and describes the vehicle as a truck, while The Guardian alone notes that the driver is in custody and that two juveniles were in the vehicle, according to police.
