About a week ago, an article was written about a school shooting where a 14 yr old boy shot two students and two teachers before killing himself. In this article, there was alot of description about the shooting and also a detailed background of the troubled teen. About 3/4's through the article it was stated that the boy was white in a school that was primarily black. However, it stated that race played no part in the crime. I don't think that they needed to discuss how he was white and the rest of the school was black if it had nothing to do with the crime. I do however think they need to state the race of the shooter but nothing else. It gives the reader a better image of him. Especially considering his name is Asa. This makes the reader curious to what race he is. But if race played no part then you shoudn't relate his race to the rest of the school.
