Mall Shooting

The New York Times article, "After a Rampage, Trying to Grasp What Led a Son to Kill," buried the most important elements that should have been in the lead: the death of the five victims and the death of the shooter. Instead they said that: "the parents of Sulejman Talovic called the police to report him missing." First of all, unless we heard about the shooting last week, we don't know who Talovic is. It's also not timely because he's not missing; he's dead. The article goes on to emphasize Talovic's life in Bosnia but the most relevant issue, that is not reported on, is what was this 18-year-old kid doing with a 12-gauge shotgun.
