Analysis:

Here is another story about a violent school shooting out of state. The story gives us some context as to what might have caused the father to shoot the coach, but fails to provide answers to larger questions like what sort of safety plan the school has in place, how many school shootings have taken place in Texas this year, and whether or not the man had a license for the gun he used. Asking questions like these would put the story in context, rather than hyping a random act of violence 1,000 miles away from local viewers.
