From the BBC report on the Canadian shootings:

At a news conference, RCMP North District Commander Chief Supt Ken Floyd confirmed the suspect was the same person police described in an earlier alert sent to local residents.

That alert described a “female in a dress with brown hair” – but the person’s name or gender are yet to be publicly released.

A strange locution. By now everyone who’s looked into the case is clear that the killer was a man dressed as a woman. Not a female. But they won’t say that. The word “trans” will not be mentioned.
