Summary: Police shot and killed a 49-year-old man suspected of shooting seven people Sunday at a birthday pool party in an apartment complex near the University of California, San Diego, authorities said. Authorities said the suspect, a white man identified as Peter Selis, shot four black women, two black men and one Latino man, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. Officials were planning to brief the media on the investigation at 11:15 a.m. Monday. NBC 7 is planning to offer live coverage of the news conference. “From the clubhouse, there’s a view of the pool area where we could see the shooter sitting there with a beer in one hand and the gun in the other. He looked pretty relaxed,” the witness said.
Analysis: The article was written on May 1, 2017 giving a brief description on events happening near the university of California. I didn't hear about this prior to reading, nor did I hear about events particularly happening in the state of California. It was written to make people aware of the recent killing and intends to cause them to be more cautious of their surroundings and their safety.
Synthesis: This article can be connected to The Boston Massacre, known as the Incident on King Street by the British: an incident on March 5, 1770, in which British Army soldiers shot and killed people while under attack by a mob. Similar to this shooting, it cost the lives of several people.
