The Daily Mail isn't a newspaper, it's a rag. Daily Mail readers are known to move their lips when they read it.

It has long been engaged in (among other far right-wing political crusades) a concerted effort to persuade the great British public that its government hates it and prohibits it from defending itself against evil people.

It sensationalizes news, and publishes sensational non-news.

It has been riding this hobbyhorse at least since the beginnings of the saga of Tony Martin, the violently unpleasant bigot who shot and killed an unarmed fleeing teenaged burglar in the back outside his farmhouse (and was eventually convicted and served a prison term) a decade ago. It has a strongly vested interest here: selling newspapers to right-wing morons.

The fact that a domestic US story appears in the Daily Mail is equivalent to a domestic UK story being reported on FoxNews: it's there for a reason, and the reason has nothing to do with informing the public; it has to do with manipulating the public and promoting a political agenda.
