@Dicklyon: Why did you add a comma before "shooting"? Does not seem to be a common convention for titles. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:39, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

After South Carolina; nothing to do with shooting. Comma-offset state names get matching commas after. See [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] for examples of grammar and style guides saying so. Dicklyon (talk) 16:52, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Galobtter: Do you agree? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:11, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Well, it looks strange to me too, but does seem to be what is used for these titles in sources and what's recommended by guides as mentioned above. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:04, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hmm, ok! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:26, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
