The LA Times article primarily focused on the facts of the issue. It talked about Alexis' previous misconduct and his mental instability; however, the tone was cut-and-dry and completely unsympathetic towards Alexis. It interviewed the victims from his past run-ins against the law involving firearms.

The NY Times article had a slightly more sympathetic tone towards Alexis. It involved an interview with his mother, who was portrayed to be utterly distraught and shocked while the public raged against her and her family. It also spoke about his mental instability and hinted that it may have been more the government's fault for not providing proper background checks.
