No formal fallacies were found in the article. However, there are a few informal fallacies and inflammatory rhetoric present. The author uses emotive language such as 'deadly shooting', 'four people were killed', and 'fleeing the home' which can evoke strong emotional responses from readers but do not necessarily add to the factual accuracy of the report. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction in the phrase 'no ongoing threat to the public', implying that if there was an ongoing threat, it would be a concern for public safety.
][The suspect] acted alone, and there was no ongoing threat to the public.
