The Sacramento State Student that beat to death roommate Scott Hawkins has been charged with murder. Quran Jones is accused of killing his dormitory roommate Scott Hawkins on October 21st 2009.
Quran Jones is accused is using a baseball bat in the violent beating death. After the beating death Jones was found and brandishing a knife. Sacramento State police officers shot Jones who unfortunately survived. Jones remains at the UC Davis Medical Center in good condition. Jones faces one count of murder and three counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Nice objectivity: "Sacramento State police officers shot Jones who *unfortunately* survived." Despite the crime and personal feelings the author may have, it's just bad journalism for a reporter to inject their opinion when recounting an event, no matter the heinousness. Better luck next time Mr. Hawkins.

It is sad for Quran to have survived. He is now paralyzed from his bullet wounds. For the rest of his life he will be in the system and cannot move his legs.

"mistake"? Tell that to the parents of Scott Hawkins. Nice to see you are standing up for Quran Jones when Scott Hawkins was the one murdered.

"unfortunately", I agree with dissapointed. I wonder how many people hold the jobs that they have today! I am not a college graduate and can easily see that was a mistake!!!!!!!!!!

“Unfortunately survived”? I thought it was a journalist job to just report what happened. Last time I checked that didn’t mean mixing their opinions in on a story. Report the news, not your opinions.
@ Matt MaGuire: I think when Kay said a “mistake” I’m pretty sure it was meant about the journalist putting in their opinion on the story. Not at the tragic crime. chill out.

Sad how many people defend the shooter and no love for the victim.
