For a girl who can vividly remember the "duck and cover" exercises that students had to perform in schools throughout the DC area, this article really hit home with me. I think the structure and writing style of the article were both great especially for a topic that is so old. Although the sniper was only executed today, it's been over seven years since his attacks.
The article does a good job of covering something that may not be in the forefront of everyone's minds anymore, and still making it significant. It didn't spend an overly long time talking about the events of the past, but gave just enough evidence of the crimes to remind readers why he was being sentenced to death today. In addition, he gave plenty of information on how his sentence was arranged and why it took place today without making it sound like a rule book instead of a newspaper article.
