Another tragic shooting by a trans-identifying suspect sparks national debate and claims of a media cover-up as more details emerge.

There was no indication from the family or friends that any violence was underway or that they were in fear of this specific individual.

I'm Daily Wire, Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe.

It's Wednesday, February 18th.

This is Morning Wire.

Nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran wrap up with what both sides describe as progress, even as American warships converge on the region.
