You could be talking about passive framing.
Johnson was struck by a round fired from the gun of Deputy Jackson, leading to a loss of blood which turned out to be fatal.
vs.
Deputy Jackson shot and killed Johnson.
It’s not really positive rhetoric, though, just framing the event so passively that the shooter feels completely disconnected from the death of the victim.
