Great question - one you would expect a competent reporter to ask.

Are 8 year olds writing for the Cap - 2009-10-28 17:04:34
a)"A large red pickup was seen being towed from the crash sit at 11 a.m." Wow, really. I assumed it would sprout wings and fly away.
b) The man knocked on the window with a gun, but he ended up stabbing her.... with that gun? Wouldn't a keen reporter think that doesn't make sense and ask a follow-up question? Did he have to put the gun away to get the knife, or did he have a gun in one hand and a knife in the other?
c) "Police interviewed a few men who matched the description the woman provided" - white man with a beard and a red shirt. Were they holding a Santa Claus convention in the park?
d)Two very poignant observations this writer pointed out - the folded wheelchair in the back of the van and the wheel that was "out of place". Hmmm..
