The media bias on this story continues. Gotta make the shooter into a lone gun nut. So here's how they start the article:

Federal agents and police searched for weapons and explosives Saturday in the apartment of a man who was killed in a shootout along with a Massillon police officer Friday night. While the search was in progress, the ATF agent said authorities found only one weapon — a .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol and a few rounds of ammunition. It was unclear after the search if more weapons were found...“We had information there may have (been) illegal firearms in the house. ... Because of (Matthews’) involvement with various groups, we were contacted. ... He shows an interest in firearms.”

And what did they find? A lone .380 and some ammo. The guy had two guns. Can't even use the stockpile word.

It appears the media is gonna exploit this story for all it's worth. The initial event was sickening enough without watching the newshogs roll in it...
