The spin will be that he was an honor student who was "turning his life around" and now he's another "victim of gun violence" or something similar to demonize self defense and guns once again.

Many years ago I was blessed to spend time in Philadelphia. American history was respected & preserved there and it really was the City of Brotherly Love.
It's a S-hole now.

However, a good Cheesesteak can still be a profound spiritual experience.

Sigh... I just love a happy ending.

Both guns were recovered from the scene, police said.

Why were both recovered? Did the perp have two? Or do they mean they recovered one from the deceased perp and took one from the law abiding citizen so he/she is now disarmed..?

Sadly you know that is exactly what it means, they took the good guys gun. Hopefully he has more than one as some of the scums friends and family may take exception to him taking their loved one away.
Was nice to hear about another happy ending though.

I suspect the good guy's gun was taken for ballistics testing. It's probably standard procedure. Our system is addicted to forensics, even when things seem so obvious as to make it unnecessary.
