✓ Proper Attribution [9/10]: The article consistently attributes information to official sources, especially Police Chief J.D. Younger, helping maintain objectivity.
"Edmond Police Chief J.D. Younger said at a news conference."

[editorializing] The inclusion of the police chief’s quote explicitly urges against demonization, promoting social cohesion
"“We’re trying to find justice for 23 people that were shot, one that’s deceased and even the people that were involved. I think it’s important not to demonize or separate the parties here,” Younger said."
