Quote:
taking place implies a continuous nature. Present perfect tense if preferred unless the sentence clearly indicates a place or a date, which the stimulus did not.
Quote:
this version uses the correct verb tense but contains an ambiguous use of the phrase "like that". Since the sentence is talking about reactions specifically to "tragic news" and not "tragic news" and general equivalents, the use of "like that" is inappropriate.
Quote:
unnecessary use of gerunds
Quote:
the event already took place, poor verb tense

I don't see anything wrong here
