Media outlets presented a dual narrative between documenting the awful tragedy of life and celebrating the extraordinary courageous deeds by bystanders. One prominent theme was the individual who bravely disarmed a gunman, a move that may have prevented further casualties.

Several front pages carried powerful imagery of the aftermath, paramedics helping the injured, and images of beachgoers fleeing.
