Killer Found​

Original story from //ABC//: [|Gunman in FL office shooting caught; 1 dead].

I found this story on //ABC//, and I feel as though they use [|sensationalism bias]. I chose this story when I saw the title because I was amazed that somebody would want to kill one person and injure five others. Another reason why I thought this story was interesting was because it happened on Friday, November 6, just one day after 13 people were killed in Texas.

The writer uses more of an informative tone throughout the story, as well as emotional wording such as, "The victims 'felt very lucky and blessed to be alive'" said Gov. Charlie Crist. The informative and worried tone was also used extensively throughout the video located above the story on //[|ABC].//

I feel as though //The Wall Street Journal// has used a fitting picture of [|Rodriguez]. The look on his face makes him seem as if he were an insane person. In my opinion he would have to be insane because any sane person would not go and kill people at their old job just because; as Rodriguez said, "they left me to rot." I think that Rodriguez went to his old job and did this because he had to file for bankruptcy and he had lost his job. More than likely this was his way of getting back at the company for firing him.

Another part of the //ABC// story that can be used as an example of the emotional tone was when //[|ABC]// interviewed the niece of an engineer that was shot in the back. They asked how her uncle was doing and she answered, "He is stable, he's just hurting really bad in the back." After finding out what Rodriguez had done, my opinion is that Rodriguez should be sentenced to life in prision for killing one person and injuring five others. After all Rodriguez has shown little regard for human life. [|Jaws 3]
