The story, neutrally told

Mixed · 2A person was shot in the Marble Hill neighbourhood of the Bronx, New York City, on the afternoon of Thursday 8 October in an incident involving federal law enforcement agents. Right · 1The New York Post, citing law enforcement sources, reported that an agent with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) fired at a man at 2 Marble Hill Ave. around 4:20 p.m. and wounded him. Right · 2The Post's sources said the man's injuries were not life-threatening; the NYPD said the person was taken to a nearby hospital and was conscious and receiving medical attention.

Mixed · 2The NYPD, in a post on X, put the time at around 4 p.m. and said its officers were not involved and were not at the scene when the shooting happened. Centre · 1A police spokesman told Newsweek, "The NYPD is not involved at all," and referred further questions to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Mixed · 2ICE did not immediately respond to the Post's request for comment, and Newsweek had asked Mayor Zohran Mamdani's office and DHS for information. The circumstances, the identity of the wounded person and the reason for the shooting have not been reported, and all three outlets describe the story as developing.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.

Framing
Newsweek leads with the hospitalised person and the NYPD's statement, describing 'federal agents' without naming ICE.
Emphasis
NYPD non-involvement and requests for comment from the mayor's office and DHS.
Leaves out or plays down
Does not report the Post's sourcing that an ICE agent fired or the time and street address.
For example
“"The NYPD is not involved at all," a police spokesman told Newsweek” — Newsweek

Right3 outlets

Framing
The Post leads with 'ICE agent shoots man', attributing it to law enforcement sources; Fox News uses the more generic 'federal agents' and attributes everything to the NYPD.
Emphasis
The Post stresses the ICE agent as shooter, the address and that injuries were not life-threatening; Fox stresses the NYPD's non-involvement and the person's condition.
Leaves out or plays down
Fox does not say which agency was involved; the Post does not carry the NYPD's statement that its officers were absent.
