10/18/2017 "Police hunt for 'armed and dangerous' killer who shot dead three co-workers at a Baltimore granite company and injured two others before driving to Delaware and opening fire on another man at a used car lot"Read NowAUTHOR This article is written by James Wilkinson. The 58 year old happens to be the project manager and sub editor of the daily mail. James' work can be seen in the Daily Mail, New Zealand Herald, Time Out New York, Arizona Republic, OZY, Hotel Management (Australia), AZCentral.com, Time Out Melbourme. Wilkinson loves BRFC cricket and music, has 2 daughters, and a wife who he has been married to since 2003. ABOUT THE ARTICLE The purpose of this article that James wrote was to warn and inform the readers about some killings that had happened in Baltimore and Delaware. James uses information from the events that lead up to the situation from the cops and primary resources that knew the suspect. To write about the events that happened during the situation was given from cops and witnesses who saw it all unfold. The audience would primarily be those who live around the Baltimore and Delaware areas where the killings had happened. On top of those people the article would be those in surrounding areas and states, since the suspect is still on the run.
During the article James' combination of didactic, forthright, and gloomy tone allowed the reader to understand how badly the situation was and what happened. His didactic tone is seen in sentence like, "Police said Radee Labeeb Prince, 38, opened fire at 8:58 am at Advanced Granite Solutions in Emmorton Business Park, Edgewood, WBALTV11 reported. It's located around 20 miles northeast of central Baltimore, Maryland." which educates and instructs the reader what happened, where it happened, and when it happened. "He said Prince and the man shot at the Wilmington auto shop has a 'history and beefs' with Prince over 'some past history on some criminal cases'. He added that Prince had been arrested 42 times in Delaware, most;y on parole violations, had been convicted of 15 felony counts and four misdemeanors in 2003." this forthright tone is straightforward with no hesitation from James. James mixes a gloomy tone by saying, "They found five people wounded, two of whom died on the scene, with a third dying later. Two others are hospitalized- one in critical conditions and another in serious conditions." which was a sad thing to put in the article and write about, because nobody likes to hear or talk about another person dying. The appeals to ethos, logos, and pathos is evident throughout the article. Ethos can be seen through the people that James had gathered information from, including co-workers of Prince, police officers that had spoken about the events, Princes' landlord, schools, and eye witnesses of the event. As for logos, it is seen when James talks about how many people had died in the shootings, the car Prince had used, the times this all happened, the places, and the events that took place during all of it. Pathos is not written in the article but it is still there due to the pictures that James contributes. The pictures of scenes and people giving grief has to do with emotions.
