Story summary

A Seattle court denied bail on October 13 for James Cody Bryant, a 30-year-old resident of Bellingham, Washington, who is accused of conspiring with Jesse Van Rootselaar in the February Tumbler Ridge Secondary School shooting that killed six people and injured 27. Prosecutors argue that Bryant provided months of logistical support to Van Rootselaar through online interactions on Discord, including offering financial assistance and agreeing to livestream the attack. Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Greenberg claims that Bryant poses a danger to the community if released, while defense lawyers say she uses "she/her" pronouns and goes by Melody. The court ordered Bryant detained pending further hearings.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
