2015 Chattanooga shootings

Created by Veggies (talk) and DisuseKid (talk). Nominated by Faizan (talk) at 22:15, 18 July 2015 (UTC).

Length and history verified. However, both hooks are dull since, as this article is a failed ITN candidate, they're more or less news hooks, not DYK hooks. So, I have proposed a new hook of my own that's a little more eyebrow-raising and verified the reference:
  • Struck ALT3, as it does not appear anywhere in the article proper—the quote certainly doesn't—a basic DYK requirement. This is one of the many reasons we don't allow people to approve their own hooks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:31, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
New hook will be needed, since all hooks have been struck. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:27, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
ALT4: ... that the family of the perpetrator of the 2015 Chattanooga shootings had tried to get him inpatient psychiatric care but a health insurer refused to approve the expense? - Dravecky (talk) 17:40, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Wow. Like that's never happened before, anywhere. Daniel Case (talk) 03:58, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
It's a hook crafted to get readers to click to learn more. That's all. - Dravecky (talk) 05:24, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
In which case I doubt they will, sicne it's basically "dog bites man." Daniel Case (talk) 03:11, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
  • Full review needed including new hook and its sourcing, neutrality of hook and article, and close paraphrasing. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:26, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
