Poor writing skills certainly don't contribute to a reporter's credibility. OTOH, the Athens Daily Review probably doesn't pay well, and the quality of today's college graduates is not always what one could have expected decades ago.

In any case, regardless of the placement of commas, we can be pretty certain that a guy shot at the cops and was shot in return, and a corpse was later found on the deceased man's property.

Now other papers and TV stations are on the story, so we can put together the facts from their various pieces.

Is this discussion really helping our understanding of this issue?

Who knows?

It's a long way from the police finding a body to getting a murder conviction in court. Then the average time served by a murder convict is around 10 years and often shorter.

In Henderson County, Texas, the adult son of former Texas governor Bill Clements, also named Bill or Gill Clements, was reported missing.

Police officers searched for him on private property of a neighbor (I don't know why). The property owner allegedly threatened the officers and shot at them with an AK-47. The property owner is now deceased.

Police later found a corpse believed to be that of the deceased Mr. Clements on the property that they were searching.
