2 U.S. Airmen were attacked and killed on a bus outside of Terminal 2 at the Frankfurt Airport in Germany. The gunman attacked and killed two and wounded two others before he was brought down by officials. Many U.S. troops are based out of Germany and operate in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. Officials say it could be a possible terrorist attack though German and Kosovo officials are not convinced of so.
I picked this article because it was a major headline on the NPR site and pertains to our soldiers that are thought of as safe as long as they aren't in Iraq or Afghanistan. The news values in this article are Novelty (didn't expect an attack in Germany), Impact (the loss of more soldiers and the effect it has on their families'), Immediacy (though it doesn't say the exact time, it wouldn't be a major headline if it was old news), and Conflict (that one is obvious).
