When the replacement(read: not much experience) for your regular assignment desk person misses a fatal police involved shooting and you don't find out about it until four hours later when the other stations have it at the beginning of their newcasts?
Yep. Makes the whole morning just an enjoyable funfest playing catch-up...
Where's the tequila??

Think it worse when the regular guy does the same thing. Few weeks ago our 'stunt double' assignment editor missed a fatal Police shooting. Why?
Because she heard on the scanner that the victim was shot in the arm! Of course he was, but now he was dead because bullets don't just stop at the arm! Besides, whenever the Police draw arms, we go.
She ain't been on the desk since.
Interesting story, too bad you had to play catch up all day on it. I pity the family, but I think the officer did the right thing. It is a sad situation.
