[edit] Subjective title name

Isn't the title "Carnation Massacre 2007" too subjective? It doesn't fit in the category of a massacre, so it should be renamed to "Carnation, Washington shooting" or "Carnation, Washington slayings." The year added in the title is also unnecessary.

An example of this would be: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crandon%2C_Wisconsin_shooting

I don't know. I think that, given the total way that this thing played out, "massacre" might be an appropriate descriptor. But I do agree that the 2007 is unnecessary; how many such events have occurred that could be so named? Unschool (talk) 05:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I changed the heading of "perpetrator(s)" to "suspect(s)" as they are not currently guilty under law, and so it would be incorrect to identify them as perpetrators at this time. It should be revised once they are found guilty, assuming they are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.247.100.121 (talk) 07:16, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
