This kind story is out of order for this kind of website. There's plenty of news sources reporting the same incident already.

They do have articles about electronics and gaming events and conventions, so it isn't too far off to report a tragedy at a gaming event. Although this seemed to be a small preliminary competition, let's say theoretically for example if they were going to write an article about the results of the final competition but if a shooting occurred there and the games were cancelled, should the writer simply write nothing since there were no winners, or write about the shooting?
