     The article is over the Las Vegas shooting, the name of the article is called “The frightening Enigma of the Las Vegas shooter.” By David A. Graham. This article talks about what has happen and that the killer does not match the roll of a mass murder, he talks about how a mass murder would be a young individual. The man was a 64 years old millionaire who lives in a retirement community. It also talks about how the killer did not have criminal background, nor that he was a mentally ill person. While reading this article the authors primary argument was how the killer did not match to someone who would killed 60 people, and how that there was no concrete evidence to put together. The author supports this by gathering information from the Officer of the police department when he says, “He lived in a clean neat retirement community next to a golf course.” The author gives more supporting info from The New York Times, “he owned several other properties around the country, police said his house in Mesquite was in good order.” The last supporting info gathered was by the killer’s neighbor when he said, “Living in this kind of community, you don’t expect that. It is just unbelievable.”

     The classmates that I have chosen to wright about is Sarah Jaffar article. When reading Sarah’s article over the Las Vegas shooting, she breaks down and explains what is going on in the article. Everything that she noted was correct and on point. One thing that she handled great was how she did not leave out any key points from the article, and made sure that the reader was well informed with what was going on. If  I were to add to the discussion, I would provide more detail on where in Las Vegas the shooting took place and when it happened. However, overall Sarah’s writing came out sufficient and proper.
