Do you think some people will see this news story as glorifying shooters?

Actually I get your comment although it wasn't my first reaction to the event. We remember the names of killers more than the names of their victims. This could be encouraging to people with guns and no other ideas for an identity-defining experience.

Every year that we commemmorate the shooting of 14 women in Montreal, we say their names and keep the shooter nameless.

Is there another way to report on mass murder that doesn't seem like glorifying to you?

I'm interested in your thoughts.
