Subtitle is better:

> Software enabled agents to hack phone in 40 minutes, but it didn’t yield incriminating information; motive of slain shooter, son of normal, loving, pro-Trump parents, still unclear

Ignoring the obvious Israeli self-congratulation, the article is much more informative that I expected.

(Though with such a young and low-skill lone attacker - the FBI might well have cracked his phone in 20 seconds by trying a few passwords like "123123".)
