I have another bone to pick with the media.

Until a dead person is proven to have been shot by the sniper, the
cadaver MAY NOT be properly described as a VICTIM. Indeed, the decedent
must be proven to have some sort of innocence in the matter at first,
before being beknighted as a VICTIM. Once innocence is established, the
title of VICTIM may be bestowed. And once the shooter of the victim is
conclusively proven to have killed all the others, then the shootee
becomes a SNIPER VICTIM.

And the dead one cannot be said to have been MURDERED until the shooter
is convicted in a court of law of the crime of MURDER. Neither can the
shooter be described as crazy or deranged, until that is diagnosed by a
licensed mental health practitioner.

I think the biggest crime here is the assault on the precision of
LANGUAGE, which is TRULY the MURDERED VICTIM here.
