"Two brothers shot in Oak Park". Now it's safe to assume if you just said Brothers shot in Oak Park, everyone would think two related people. But when you say two brothers, well especially in Oak Park, it just seems funny. Two brothers shot in Oak Park NANCY STONE / CHICAGO TRIBUNE By Wes Venteicher, Tribune reporter 5:24 pm, April 3, 2014 Two brothers were shot outside an apartment complex on the 400 block of Austin Boulevard in Oak Park Wednesday night, marking the second shooting in a week at the building, police said. |

I see what you're saying. But if he just wrote "Brothers shot in Oak Park" it implies that it could be more than two. Maybe he's trying to be specific in the headline. Then again, maybe you're right. You could read the article to find it was only two. Just giving him the benefit of the doubt. |
