Susan Miller, Assistant Breaking News Editor, covers daily and international news along with LGBT issues. Its seems she wrote this article to keep people informed and update people on the health of the survivors. this article was published at 10:34 am  August 27th and updated at 7:22 the same day. The problem with it being posted so early is there may be more to the situation and they will have to update it as it goes. The author makes you feel hopeful because of the outcome of the tragedy. There have been many shootings in the past like the six people in South Dallas drive-by shooting. This relates to history because you notice the pointless or crazy things that happen that seem to be for no reason.

  1. I didn’t know that a person could get so upset about a game. Enough to carry out a shooting and kill two people!
