News Comment #4

The article “At least 1 dead, 12 others injured after shooting at Memphis-area Kroger”, published by CNN and written by Rebekah Riess, writes about the information reported by multiple sources revolving the shooting in Tennessee.

Police Chief Dale Lane gets quoted that the shooter was “found dead”. Also the spokesperson Kimberly Alexander said that “at least one patient” was taken to the hospital. However, there is no further information on the condition and the extend of the injuries according to the town spokesperson Jennifer Casey.

The article is very short and only has the necessary information in one to two sentence paragraphs. Hence there is no proper lead. Notable is also that there are no quotes used what so ever. This means that the author solely relied on primary sources when writing this article which makes it credible and a reliable source of information.

  1. I’m guessing the story (as printed here) has expanded since you read it yesterday. There are now survivor stories. It will be updated as more info is discovered. It’s an ongoing story.

    Welcome to America’s weekly mass shooting. Read enough of them and you will begin to see many similarities.
