National Rifle Association (NRA) spokeswoman Dana Loesch called on the media to stop "creating" mass shooters by their extensive coverage of suspects following incidents of attacks, The Hill reported Saturday.

While recognizing a need to report events "responsibly," Loesch cautioned against "oversaturation."

"#MSM has got to stop creating more of these monsters by oversaturation. I'm not saying don't responsibly report on things as they happen. I understand it. But constantly showing the image of the murderer, constantly saying their name, is completely unnecessary," Loesch tweeted via the NRATV Twitter account.

Loesch made the statement on Friday following the mass shooting at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas. Ten people died and another ten were injured in the attack.

Police arrested 17-year-old suspect Dimitrios Pagourtzis, a student at the school, who has been charged with capital murder and aggravated assault on a public service.

Another student was detained as a person of interest in the attack, but it is not clear what connection they might have had to Friday's shooting.
