Friday's cover of the New York Daily News attempts to put to rest one of the major arguments surrounding the San Bernardino mass shooting that left 14 people dead on Wednesday.

The paper lists the names and photos of four recent mass shooters—all white males—including Robert Lewis Dear, who killed three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado on November 27.

While reports seem to indicate that Farook had visited Saudi Arabia and had been in contact with people who hold extremist Islamic views, the media seems to wait to find out the religion and ethnicity of a shooting suspect before identifies a mass shooting as terrorism.
