Where's the news?

[CoolBreeze]

As I write this, about 17 hours have passed since a girl killed herself with a pistol on Capitol Street, and yet not a peep from anyone in the media so far....

well elaborate a little jerry, accidental or suicide? depending on that and other circumstances may be why its not being reported...

[genlock]

What block of Capitol st?

[CoolBreeze]

I'm getting conflicting reports: Three people say she died, while one says she had a pulse. She sat down at one of the tables in front of Spyros parking lot and pointed a pistol at her head. The bullet apparently went through her and into the parking lot attendants shack. ( I saw that hole ) Suicides in a public place usually make the news.... but again, not sure of the outcome or details yet.

[fearpeddler]

i heard that over the scanner at work, we normally dont cover suicides though.

[CoolBreeze]

Let's say the suicide happened in the middle of the Town Center Mall... or during a Marshal football game. Bet you'd cover it then. Suicides in a public place should be covered in my opinion, especially when there are both witnesses AND a possible danger to others.

It appears the girl was brain dead, and I understand the plug was to be pulled today.

No, then you'd have everyone killing themselves in public (or attempting) just to get headlines.
