Man shot 3 times, manages to drive to hospital

This news is about a man who was shot 3 times, managed to drive 4km to the hospital by himself. It happened in George Town along Jalan Besar in Prai. This news is newsworthy because it's something new.
It's also something shocking as people do not get shot everyday. Not only that, it's hard to hear stories of people surviving even with a single shot.

In my opinion the title that the author used was appropriate. It highlights the main point of the article which is the survival of a man after getting shot, not once but thrice. The author of this article used the inverted pyramid style to write this article. Furthermore the author used the teaser like theory to reveal the details of the news slowly. Everything in the article was straight forward even though certain parts of the story was quite draggy.

Readers would follow up on this story to know more on the previous convictions that the victim had. Nevertheless, readers will surely want to know the shooter's identity. Lastly, they would like to know more about the victims health condition.
