Maybe the writer is not a native English speaker and that's why the article is so bad?
Nothing indicates that they targeted him intentionally. As written, the data suggests it could have been an accident."After ordering the suspect to drop the knife multiple times, police discharged their firearms striking the armed individual. The 47-year-old male was pronounced dead," a police source said.
The man was named as Francisco Carvajal.
Police said the 51-year-old man, who also entered the apartment, "sustained trauma to the torso during the incident" and was pronounced dead at hospital.
Assuming that he's just collateral damage, that is tragic indeed. But there is no need to blow it larger, just to support your own agenda. Disgusting, if you ask me.Monday's incident came just over two months after a black father of six suffered a fatal heart attack after New York police officers on Staten Island used an illegal choke hold to subdue him.
On August 9, officers in Ferguson, Missouri shot dead an unarmed black teenager, sparking protests and reigniting fierce national debate about relations between police and African Americans and police tactics.
Or they learned English from a blighter.G26ster wrote:bigity wrote:"..died at hospital."

I think you mean not a native American-English speaker. "At hospital," or more likely "in hospital" is the proper usage in Great Britain and many other English speaking countries.
I doubt very seriously that he was targeted. If he had been he wouldn't have a scratch on him.Vol Texan wrote:Ok, so this is tragic, I get that. But from what I read, he was accidentally shot as they were engaging someone else. There is nothing in the article (unless I've missed it) that suggests he was targeted, but instead he was collateral damage.

So what was the value of the race-baiting comments in the last two paragraphs of the article? Which stink-pot is the author trying to stir up unnecessarily?

That quote is not in the article now, so maybe it was corrected. However, I know many people that English is their first language that cannot write that well. Sometimes I am one of them. We can't all be as eloquent as TAM.bigity wrote:"..died at hospital."

IMHO nothing to correct as it is correct English, just not common "American" English. Yahoo News is a world wide website, so why should they be restricted to reports only written in American English?C-dub wrote:That quote is not in the article now, so maybe it was corrected.bigity wrote:"..died at hospital."

I don't know how I'm missing it. I did a CTRL+F search for the word "hospital" and only came up with one hit on the page in this sentence.G26ster wrote:IMHO nothing to correct as it is correct English, just not common "American" English.

BTW, I just looked again and it's still there in the article linked.
And one hit on the word "died" with the same method in this sentence.Police said the 51-year-old man, who also entered the apartment, "sustained trauma to the torso during the incident" and was pronounced dead at hospital.
The medical examiner's office said Laureano died from a gunshot wound to the back and declared his death a homicide.
Looks like you found it to me. That's the quote in question in bold.C-dub wrote:

Okay. I noticed the missing "the", but was focusing on the other words. Sorry.G26ster wrote:Looks like you found it to me. That's the quote in question in bold.C-dub wrote:

Not saying it was wrong, just an indication to me that perhaps the writer was an ESL person.G26ster wrote:IMHO nothing to correct as it is correct English, just not common "American" English.
