Read this:
Police continued to search this morning for two men involved in the fatal shooting of a 41-year-old [local] man Sunday during an armed robbery at [a local bowling alley]. [Victim], an employee at the bowling alley, was shot multiple times in the upper torso during the incident…
Police declined to say where [Victim] was shot and how many times he was wounded.
Not to make light of somebody’s death but didn’t we already learn that the answers are: a) he was shot at the bowling alley and b) 0, he was KILLED.
I can only assume this reporter was paid by the word.
I wish I were paid by the word. As a professional sock, my mantra is “why use 1 word when 10 will do just as well.”
BTW thanks for dropping by. Come back anytime.
