"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon."
This story is about politics, crime and a celebrity. And it is not a new phenomenon in the US, where there have already been several assassination attempts (a few successful) on politicians, including presidents. [1]
The Guidelines also say:
"If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

By this logic, this story also doesn't qualify, because people have sued for discrimination. It's not new.
Edit oh look someone finally posted it [1]. See, I was right and you were wrong, it is within the guidelines, oops. Read the guidelines [2]

Edit 2: dang spells it out explicitly and agrees with me[3], he has made this story unflaggable. Please read the guidelines before making stupid comments.
