Journalist here. If you're eighteen, you're both a man, and a teenager. The rule of thumb for teenager is if your age has the word 'teen' in it, you're a teenager. That doesn't mean he's not an adult as well. And since when is describing a teenager as a teenager sensationalising? Does being eighteen as opposed to seventeen lessen his parents' grief? Does it justify the officer's actions? Is the death of an eighteen-year-old less worthy than the death of a seventeen-year-old in your mind?
