Another sad situation, however I do find it interesting how any and all reference to race have been omitted or removed from the Seattle times article.

Compare, http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/07/justice/washington-soldier-killed/index.html to http://blogs.seattletimes.com/today/2013/10/three-suspects-arrested-in-soldiers-fatal-stabbing/

I don't see the CNN article as being inflammatory, while I do see the Seattle Times article as being dishonest through omission.
