...the woman was armed with a handgun and was able to stop the murder of her family
Maybe the media doesn’t like having the public armed, because it stops their sensational headlines. If it wasn’t for this woman being armed, they could have talked about how tragic it is that this man killed his whole family with a firearm, and gotten some major mileage out of this story, but instead the situation was ended quickly, and everyone including the attempted murderer is alive.
Don Henley said it perfectly in a song:
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry...
...We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry
The fact is that sensational headlines and bad news sells.
Police: Wife shot husband in self-defense
quote:
Witness statements and further investigation showed that Troy Christoff intended to shoot several members of his family. Before the shooting, he armed himself with a handgun and began to load the weapon, stating which member of his family each bullet was intended for.
When the handgun was loaded he raised the weapon and pointed it at his wife, who had armed herself with another handgun. She fired multiple shots at her husband, striking him several times.
