“ Two men got out of a Dodge Avenger and confronted the man while holding a handgun. ”

Two men were holding A handgun?

What a convoluted sentence.

Homeboy needs to work on that nasty trigger mash.

But as they say “NHC”.

What does “NHC” stand for? Is that an acronym?

Probably a drug deal gone bad. I bet they all knew each other.

looks like a lot of running away and shooting blindly. his draw needs a lot of work, looks like it took two hands and his adversaries were not prepared to drop him. they need more range time.

Nicholas Brown and Markeil Hayes—judging from their names, they are probably not from the Fairfax District.

He was stable enough with the first shot, and appeared to hit the one guy center mass. Shooting over your shoulder while running away is simply Spray & Pray. Don’t expect many hits doing that...

Some very poor news writing. Looks like a C- student in Journalism class,.

Aren’t robberies usually brazen?

Any journalism student rates a C-, or so, to begin with. Students capable of higher level work take real courses.

I’ve given up on expecting news reports that are understandable. Every one has ambiguous and unclear language. Semi-literate dolts are the norm in the press.

Actually he was probably an “A” student. That’s pretty much the modern standards in education.
