Oh for heaven's sake, CNN. Using "guys and girls" to refer to a specific group of young men and women in a news article is staggeringly poor writing. Even if you'd used only it in a fluff piece, it's still pretty deplorable. But to use it in an article reporting an incident in which two of those people lost their lives?

If nothing else, have a modicum of respect--for the victims, and for yourselves as journalists.
