By the time the shooting stopped in Wilkinsburg on March 9, five adults and an unborn child were dead. Forty-nine shots had been fired; one of the victims had 50 holes in her body, as bullets from the AK-47 assault rifle used at close range penetrated multiple people.

Fast forward more than three months and the news of the moment isn’t the violence that took six lives that night. It’s not the tactics used by the killers, which one ATF agent on the case compared to operations he saw while in the U.S. Marine Corps. It’s not the grief and terror of the families or what the city is doing — or not doing — to curb senseless violence in its communities.

It’s former television news anchor Wendy Bell and her lawsuit against Hearst Television for, Bell claims, racially discriminating against her.

On March 21, Bell published a Facebook post filled with unsupported assumptions and racial commentary on the Wilkinsburg shootings. The shooters were likely “young black men,” Bell opined, and had “multiple siblings from multiple fathers,” and “mothers (that) work multiples jobs.”

It was an astonishing bit of racial profiling, especially considering that authorities had not yet released even a basic description of any suspects in the case, and Bell — who initially refused to remove the post from the news station’s Facebook page — was ultimately fired by the news station WTAE.

Bell clearly learned nothing from the backlash against her post. Her lawsuit — a kind of “reverse racism” claim that argues she was fired because she is white — only proves how tone-deaf and unrepentant she actually is regarding her actions.

Go ahead and write it off as a convenient distraction from the real issues we should be focusing on — neighborhood decay, violence, drug addiction and trafficking that lead to community-wide desperation, negativity and ultimately lawlessness.

Jerry Michael Shelton, 35, is a victim of those evils; Brittany Powell, 27, is a victim; Tina Shelton, 37, is a victim; Shada Mahone, 26, is a victim; Chanetta Powell, 25, and her unborn child are victims.

Wendy Bell is not a victim of anything but her own hubris and poor judgment
