I am begging journalists to follow to follow the advice from an obscure organization called the AP and stop saying "officer-involved shooting”
Avoid the vague "officer-involved" for shootings and other cases involving police. Be specific about what happened. If police use the term, ask: How was the officer or officers involved? Who did the shooting? If the information is not available or not provided, spell that out.
