What happened

An eighth grader shot and killed in Southeast D.C.

Why it matters

Tuesday was the fourth student from the same school killed by gun violence in the past 10 months, and the principal is begging parents to keep their kids inside at night.

Common ground

Digital Pioneers Academy freshman Antoine Manning, 14, was shot and killed in the 2600 block of Birney Place SE about 8:40 p.m.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
