• ▸Source diversity — It cites an on-scene journalist and Omar’s office, but includes no account from the attacker or administration.
• ▸Omitted context — The assailant’s identity and motive, and the administration’s response to Omar’s remarks, are not provided.

• ▸Source selection — The account relies on an on-scene journalist and Omar’s office for the incident and custody details.
