Police involved shooting / Huntington

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Police involved shooting / Huntington

Post by genlock »

Apparently the cops shot a fleeing suspect at 6:53 or so this morning.
Downtown Huntington, 3rd st and 5th ave.
Herald-Dispatch has it.
WSAZ/web or WSAZ on air does not.
WOWK, nothing.

God knows how you found it! Looking at the front page shows nothing but car ads and entertainment news. Even clicking on "news" brought up more of the same. What is this.. the local version of USA Today?

At 8:05 a.m., WSAZ added it to the website. I wonder if they read it here first! :)

Pretty bad when a tv station gets scooped by what was/is traditionally an ink based media provider, especially one owned by what no one would even remotely think is a media company. Before that, it shared an owner with USAToday, yes....

And if you think the Herald-Dispatch's website is bad, you should see the newspaper!

And now, it is reported that it was a Cabell County deputy who did the shooting:
