Typical media headline and grabber... "bag full of guns" becomes two guns in a bag as you read the story.

They literally profit from lying and misleading in the headline and the opening sentence.

Agreed. And for all we know, the 16-year-old ran away from his parents instead of being abandoned.

I once read a article in a newspaper referring to a kid that shot an arrow into the sky, only to be hit by his own arrow (forget if it killed him) as a “bloodbath
.”

Hyperbole is an understatement when it comes to our media.
