I just did a quick Google search for this. Found nothing.

Google? Really? Come on, we know for a fact Google buries inconvenient truths like this on page 139 of search results.

A journalist is reporting this with photos of the attack.

I am surprised how many people still use Google search despite the number of annoying changes they've made in recent years like that damn filtering, amp, and url redirections. Last straw for me was when they changed how local restaurants were displayed in a search making it nearly useless on mobile.

Nems hasn't used a different search engine since 2007.

Here's a story about exactly this: Google censorship making it hard to find inconvenient truths in search results. /u/Nemacolin needs to have a good long read before trying this "I can't find it on Google so the journalist must be lying" fake news narrative.

The Christchurch and Vegas shootings clued me in to the "filtering" (nice for censorship). You can't find the actual footage on Google search. It still wasn't too hard to primarily use google for most things and DDG for sensitive topics, but all the other changes have really gutted the usability of Google's flagship product.

It seems foolish to me, but I suppose Google has become too big to fail at this point.

Yeah. That must be it.
