A Tale of Two Shootings: Why Is the Buffalo Narrative Being Driven, While the Laguna Woods Narrative Is Ignored?

By Jennifer Oliver O’Connell

 

While peripherally studying the news coverage of both the Buffalo shooting at Tops Friendly Market on Saturday, and the Laguna Woods shooting at Geneva Presbyterian Church, I was struck by the amount of news and analysis being given to the Buffalo shooting, while the Laguna Woods shooting, which is close to me, has been all but ignored.

From CBS News Los Angeles:

One man was killed and five others wounded when a gunman opened fire in a church in Laguna Woods Sunday afternoon.

The shooting occurred at Geneva Presbyterian Church, located in the 24000 block of El Toro Road, at around 1:25 p.m.

By the time Orange County Sheriff’s deputies arrived on scene, the suspect, later identified as 68-year-old David Chou of Las Vegas, was hogtied by an extension cord by churchgoers. The churchgoers had also confiscated at least two weapons, the sheriff’s department said.

Why is this not national news? Churchgoers chose not be statistics—Bravo! These congregants didn’t hide under their pews. They bravely took down the shooter, took away his weapons, hogtied him, and waited for the cops to arrive.

That’s a script for a Hollywood blockbuster in my eyes.
