Really? No compassion for the families at all? This is what is wrong with people!

Is there some way you guys can change the way you do these articles? Some way to indicate before opening if it’s a Trussville or our area event vs when it’s somewhere else. Not saying I wouldn’t read or don’t care… But it helps to know that going in

They used the word “Metro” as the first word of the title.

Also, the vehicle in the picture says, “Brighton Police.” I’m not picking on you, Mr. Beard. I just think the Tribune does try to make that distinction for us.
