Stuff happens: How would you edit this?

Here's a bulletin from The Denver Post that is going to embarrass the person who edited it earlier this morning. If you're writing on deadline, this kind of stuff happens. If you're editing people who write on deadline, you have it edit it out. How would you edit this squib from the Post's website?
The man who killed a Park County teen during a hostage seige Wednesday sent a suicide note to a family member in advance of the attack.

At a 7 a.m. press conference this morning, Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener said authorities are hoping that the suicide note will shed light on the motive Duane Morrison had for attacking Platte Canyon High School.
Post your answers as comments to this post.
