Example Article for Newspaper. 7-11 Robbery

7-11 Robbery Video Released!

At Roughly 11:45 pm on August the 18th a robbery took place at the 6th Street and Greenhill Avenue 7-11. A man came in with a gun. The clerks ran to the back of the counter, gave him all of the money and a few packs of cigarets and ran out. Police released the surveillance video in hopes of catching the suspect. They say he is roughly 5 foot 4 and 135 pounds. He was wearing a black t-shirt and white jeans. It’s amazing how people insist on robbing the 7-11. They only keep $30 at one time. THEY EVEN HAVE A STICKER ON THE DOOR telling people that there is only $30 in the register! There are much better places to rob than a 7-11. If anyone has any information on the criminal please call Wilmington Police detective John Ciritella at 576-3629 or 911.

I like the artical, it's suspenseful in the begining. It tells the story seriously. It does sound a little like a police report, I'm not sure what you were going for. At one point, thats really cool, but at another... I'm not sure. Overall, really unique

Here is the article after I finished editing it. There was't that much to correct. 1 or 2 spelling errors and 2 grammatical errors.
