The above article is also being mirrored by the Baltimore Sun.

Two-thirds into the article, the following line appears:

The shooting spree raised questions about how Alexis was able to get security clearance to enter the base, despite a history of gun use.

(Bold added for emphasis by me)

Guns are used every day by millions without harming anyone. I sent a message to the editors demanding that they amend the wording to reflect that this individual has had a history of violence and illegal gun use (http://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2013/...rrested-in-seattle-for-anger-fueled-shooting/).

Some in the media really are full of absolute ignorance...

Looks like they edited it on the Reuters page.

I just read both articles and they both said misuse.

The shooting spree raised questions about how Alexis was able to get security clearance to enter the base, despite a history of gun misuse.

Eternal vigilance. Good job setting them straight.

I'm glad they changed it, good catch!
I have a history of gun use and I'm proud of it, anyone can tell by looking at my car and at my shirts and hats.
