Breathless Reporting

"Florida police searching for male who attempted to steal weapon from Walmart Supercenter"!

"Upon review of store surveillance footage, a black male wearing a white tank top and a black mask covering his head and face was observed with a rifle-style BB gun from the sporting goods section of the store and was possibly loading the BB gun with BB pellets."
A bb gun.

He'd taken a bb gun out of its package and was loading it with bb's from an adjacent shelf.

Yet, we're headlining it like he'd gotten an AR and was getting ready to go mass shootin' there in the store.

I know, why react when you can OVER react?
