“… by a member of the event’s peacekeeping team”. Peacekeeping. Sure.
Well, with fairness they were shooting at an armed gunman.
They just uh… didn’t land all their shots on target.
You know, a good guy with a gun. The only thing that can save you from a bad guy with a gun.
To be fair, they very much did stop someone whose intent seemed to be mass violence. The man who died caught a stray, which is still a tragedy but it could have gone so much worse
I think they meant ‘Piece Keeping’ … people who keep pieces, aka a gun or firearm … it’s people who keep guns
Wow sometimes there’s a story that just proves that people don’t bother to read the article at all. It’s the third post I’ve seen about this story and in every single one of them at least half the comments didn’t bother to read the article and have no idea what they’re talking about.
A lot of the reporting on it is very poorly written. Weird timelines, ambiguous use of “he” for three different people, etc.
My wife and I had to read it like 3 times before we got a clear picture of it
This is why I always include a summary when I post an article. People don’t want to click away from whatever app is in front of them.
What a shithole country.
Wow this fuck up!
Shot by who??
The man, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, had apparently been shot by a man who had been part of the event’s peacekeeping team
Second sentence of the article.
Why is it missing from the headline? Passive voice strikes again.
And what is a ‘peacekeeping team’? Surely that is not the police because then it would say police. Right?

Fuck I’d hate the be the guy who stopped him. Non-zero chance that he didn’t actually stop a mass shooting, and ending up being the only party present who actually killed an innocent person.
