But maybe take the glory away from the killer by not referring to him by name to make him 'famous'. Will it come out in court or by other means? Sure. But you don't have to flash his name across CNN, his name doesn't have to be in big print on the front page, etc. They should just be known as the killer, coward, whatever you want but don't give them fame by continually speaking his name or give him a 'cool' nickname for killing a bunch of innocent people while these innocent people are forgotten about by most just days later while the killer lives in fame forever.
Speak of the act and reasons, not the person behind it.
