As wire desk editor, I’ve reviewed the Colorado Sun report and re‑aligned the copy to Chronicle style: precise attribution, calibrated language on violence, and a lead that reflects the scope without overgeneralizing. Below is a wire‑ready rewrite, followed by a quick fairness note. Let me know if you’d like a tweet, a different angle, or a full round of edits.
