Police said the shooting was not an attack on the mosque building and had nothing to do with it.

Left-leaning CBS News leads with the death and the police statement that the building was not attacked. Alternative outlets split in emphasis: NewsNation foregrounds police saying the shooting was nearby and unrelated to the mosque, while Al Jazeera cites the ATF office and describes federal authorities responding to a shooting at a mosque. All four agree on one death and a Columbus location, but they differ in how they describe where the shooting happened.
