I could but I would guess the point of this assignment is to determine your reading comprehension level. In other words, if you read the article can you understand what it said?

If I give you a summary, it won’t help you. However, I will give you some pointers on how you can read it yourself and figure all this out.

This is a news article. I was a news editor for about 3 years in radio but all news item will begin with what is called a “lead”. It’s the same as a thesis statement: it sets you up for further details down the line. Also, it tells you most of the GENERAL who,what,when,how and why when it’s properly constructed.

In this case your lead is:

“A man who forced another to the edge of the Scarborough Bluffs and shot him four times over a drug deal gone bad has been sentenced to eight years in prison.”

If you look at that sentence, you’ll get most of your who,what,when,how, why answered and the questions you don’t get answered there will be in the supporting paragraphs.

Yes. I can. However, YOU should read it YOURSELF and summarize it. It will take you less time than reading what I write.
