Hey, @washingtonpost? This is disgusting. Give the man's family space to mourn privately. He didn't ask to be in the news; he didn't ask to be murdered; and they just lost their father, husband, son. How would *you* feel? washingtonpost.com/local/william-… 
He's not the news. He's the *victim of a crime.* And you're stalking his family? Reporting every detail you can find about his family and their--until yesterday--perfectly normal, happy life? Why? To tantalize readers? For clicks?
It's in the public interest to know more about the murderer. It is not in the public interest to know so much about the victim that the press, minutes after the family, ---including his kids--have received by far the worst and most traumatic news they've received in their lives,
needs to circle like vultures outside their home, listing all the normal attributes of a loving family's home and waiting to shove a microphone in one of their faces and ask, "So, how does it feel that your father was senselessly murdered today?"
Maybe that gets lots of clicks, but at some point, you've got to ask yourself, "Is this decent?" And the answer is: "No."
