Reply to comment by elizabeth-cooper in MULTIPLE PEDESTRIANS STRUCK BY U-HAUL TRUCK IN BAY RIDGE, BROOKLYN by Darth_Monkey
A different scenario. A 6 year shoots his father with a gun.
Under your thinking, the headline should read "Father shot with gun" and not "6 year old shoots father with gun" as that's speculative.
We don't know intensions or if somehow the gun went off accidently or missfired or a strong gust of wind did it. A non-passive headline with all parties noted is more accurate.

They write headlines like that all the time.
>Father of three shot dead after getting caught in hotel gunfight on visit to son’s college
Shot dead by a gun not being held by a person?????
Obviously not.

And they also use the headline "Drive hits pedestrian" all the time.

So your statement that they "can't write headlines like that" is obviously false.

They're quoting the police, which is very different than making their own determination.

It's doesn't state intent or guilt so how is it different? It simply states fact.
