Taken from the comments section in an Ithacan newspaper:
There are two tragedies here, although not of equal magnitude. The big tragedy is that someone lost their life through violence. Another tragedy is this sentence:
"Upon police officers arrival, a male subject was located in a parking lot deceased."
I'm sure the Ithaca Journal reporter took this from the police report, but that's no excuse. Police officers aren't paid to write coherent sentences, reporters are. Besides, if it's a direct quote, where is the attribution?
Ah Ithaca, how I miss your heady mix of elitism and social retardation.
