MA Native Shot During Alleged Robbery In Miami
Nothing at all, provided you want to mislead your readers. Going to the story, we find that:
Nothing like a misleading headline toAround 10 p.m. Monday night, police say a Palm Beach sheriff's deputy, not in uniform, was confronted by a robber who had a knife. The deputy shot the man dead.
Police say the man is Nicholas Burdett, 25 – a Springfield College alum and a former Needham resident.
Sadly, since it was a police officer who ended this criminal's career, it doesn't count in the dead goblin category. On the plus side, we have a strong contender for a new category: "Victim selection: UR doin it rong"...
That is all.
UPDATE: TOTWTYTR points out that there's a good deal in this story that doesn't quite add up, not just the headline. Shot in a lifeguard station? That's just plain weird, and certainly doesn't quote pass the sniff test for self-defense.

Yeah, there's something wrong about this whole story. How did the robber end up on the lifeguard stand? What was the deputy doing in Miami?
If I were the Miami-Dade homicide detective on this case, I'd have a ton of questions. Then again, I'm just cynical.
Hmmm. I either missed that part the first time around (reading compreehenshun: J's doin it rong) or they changed the story.
Post updated to reflect incredulity...
I'm guessing the force of the gunshot flung him up onto the stand.
I saw it in a movie once!
I knew this kid, and this whole story doesnt add up, everything is entirely out of character for him
