As Twitchy told you, a man opened fire this afternoon in Fresno, killing three people. According to multiple witness accounts, the suspect,Kori Ali Muhammad, yelled “Allahu Akbar.”
Here’s how the Associated Press reported the story:

There's a possibly important detail missing from this headline. https://t.co/aBhsTLdeXA

Possibly very important.
Good grief. He said Allahu Akbar!

Didn’t the AP think that was worth mentioning?

Did he translate Allahu Akbar into English for you before shooting?

Cmon now. He didn't say "God is great"
He yelled Allah Akbar https://t.co/yGUpZ2v4Nt— LaurieAnn ??♂️? (@mooshakins) April 18, 2017
That would be Allahu Akbar. Don't spin it…

The AP is apparently OK with violating its own style guidelines.

Are you fucking kidding me with this headline?

I find it creepy when American news agencies go out of their way to deceive its readers.

Dear @AP – This is why you are regularly denigrated as #fakenews

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
This is a new low for journalism.
