Wednesday's shooting was the third in three months. The Morning News reports that some DART riders are now worried about their safety while they ride the train. “I don’t think it’s safe enough,” one woman told them.

classic fear-mongering by the Dallas Morning News. i bet i can guess exactly which terrified news editor suggested that story idea. Perhaps it is the same editor who, years after DART Rail had been established and was already being ridden by thousands of people, rode it himself for the first time, then assigned a story about "the etiquette of riding on a Rail train". Do you make [terrified] eye contact with your fellow riders? Is it OK to hum aloud? etc etc.
just horrid. still bitter! that assignment stunk
