Can I ask a stupid question?

Why is it said that he killed the “alleged” gunman?

Why did the guy in Oklahoma “allegedly” cut off the head of that poor woman?

But in the case of Ferguson Missouri, we are told that the cop actually but not allegedly killed Michael Brown?

“Alleged” refers to someone who is accused of a crime but has not had a trial to establish guilt or innocence.

If there is no doubt that a crime was committed and who did it, the word “perpetrator” is more appropriate.

Just to be fair, shouldn’t it have been reported that he allegedly killed the alleged gunman?

You forgot "innocent surrendering unarmed teenager" per USCP adjectives requirements.
