Before any media was aware, Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin tweeted about a Benton, Ky. school shooting on January 23rd. The national media took his lead and quickly spread limited details of a tragedy that left at least one Marshall County High School student dead and at least six others injured.
Bevin asked for measured reaction, only triggering anti-gun voices to shout even louder via posts and imagery.
