I'd say showing off, but I guess that's his wife.

What an idiot.

The copy below the headline is not much better. Figuring out why he was taking an elevator to the hospital was the second mystery here.

It's clear that the phrase "sending him to the hospital" is referring to "his gun discharged."

"...a Cincinnati, Ohio, elevator, sending him to the hospital."

No, I actually do not think kids are taught much about writing - I see some pretty bad examples in some of the free community newspapers here.
