Looks like attempted murder to me.

My same thought.

Would really love to hear someone explain why this isn’t attempted murder.

Hitting someone in the face with a beer bottle or bat is ‘assault with a dangerous weapon.’ Aiming a firearm purposefully at a human and pulling the trigger is attempted murder...

...unless of course the vics are white and the perps are black, I guess.

"Looks like attempted murder to me."

Only if a white person does it. Then he will be charged with first, second, and third degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon, illegal possession of a firearm, jaywalking, and probably a hate crime.
