I’m afraid if they don’t fix the bullet holes, everybody looking for a lasting memorial to themselves will decide to put in a few new holes of their own. I don’t want the perpetrator to feel at all special— that he made history.

You are correct.

Here's the difference:

The event is a crime, it's a personal war against society. It's graffiti with violence. As soon as it is over, remove the evidence, else it becomes encouragement.

However if the evidence is an act of violence by a large group such as another country, then it is history for all and should be preserved.

9/11/2001 a case in point. Violence by a small group got lucky. Erase the damage.
