Do you mean because the man in Akron fired at police? Well, the guy at the parade fired at innocent people. And killed them.
That's certainly part of it. One had tried to speed away from a traffic stop for the second time in 24 hours, shot at the police, disobeyed commands to surrender, jumped out of his car and fled, they tried to taser him and that didnt work, then he went suicide by cop. The other was a person of interest at the time and did not resist when stopped (though they did have a short low speed car chase). They did not know he was the shooter at the time, versus someone who had literally shot at them a few minutes beforehand.
I'm not really sure when running away from the police became suicide by cop.
Otherwise, you did a great job of making the mass murder sound like a gentleman, and the black Uber driver sound like a mass murder.

Now reports of an active shooter situation at the fireworks in downtown Philadelphia.
Starting to feel like we’re firmly in the gets worse before it gets better phase, assuming it does get better.
Two cops shot, shooter still at large. We're pretty close to the parkway, about a minute after we heard the news a man rode down our block on horseback.
i'm sure you've seen a dude on your block on horseback before lol
i was at the other end of the city watching camden's fireworks when this happened. a ton of cops drove by where I was watching the fireworks and I assumed there was a shooting, but I didn't think it would have happened by the festival. it sounds like it was someone shooting into the air in celebration, so Philly probably won't have a mass shooting for a couple months. someone was also shot in philly earlier that day closer to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, hotspot for tourists. not a great look.

Yeah not my first urban cowboy experience, but pretty surreal to see a horse gallop down the block while the background is all sirens, helicopters, and explosions.

Unfortunately the current Crazy Court™ will tell you that their reading of the 2nd Amend. is that any gun the military has should be allowed among citizens to protect against a tyrannical government trying to rule said citizens by force. The Crazy Court™ also says that citizens "keeping and bearing arms" now means on their person whenever and wherever they go. Because of tyranny, guys, tyrants are coming for you!
This reading of the 2nd that focuses on these two points but completely skips over the "well regulated militia" component is why I've trademarked Crazy Court. Because they're crazy, guys. The tyrants are coming from inside the house!

As a start:
Raise minimum age to 25 for all firearms
Start banning some types of guns. 2nd amendment gives you the right to bear arms, it doesn’t say which ones.
The Constitution does not give rights, it restricts the government from taking them away.
