Trump can be seen as bringing on the war of the worlds as opposed to being the daddy that can keep us safe.

ditto about the four shooters in Dallas...

The only constant about the early reporting in chaotic incidents is that 50%+ of the details reported will will turn out to be wrong

while I wait for the perpetrator to be caught and identified rather than some shouting between anonymous people.

Per CNN:

A witness who will only be identified as Lauretta told CNN her son was in a bathroom with a shooter at the McDonald's. "That's where he loaded his weapon," she said. "I hear like an alarm and boom, boom, boom... And he's still killing the children. The children were sitting to ear. They can't run." Lauretta said she heard the gunman say, "Allahu Akbar," or God is great. "I know this because I'm Muslim. I hear this and I only cry."

Would it be too much to ask that SOME context be included? It's not like "terrorist" narrows it down much these days.
