I talked with a local reporter who I work with at the tv news station. A drive-by shooting had occurred the night before. A Ruger "assault weapon" was said to have been used.
This could be the Mini-14 or a Mini-30. Afterwards, I was talking with him about an "assault weapon" being a fully automatic instead of semi-auto like the Mini-14 I used to own.
He did change it to "assault style" weapon which didn't really satisfy me, but did seem more accurate than "assault weapon".
I really love working with video. From working within the news, I can see how cliché the reporting can be. I guess there's only so much one can say about any given stabbing, shooting, or other criminal act.
It is good to see the local police work with the media. We arrived on scene at a stabbing way before our competition. It's a different world behind the scenes than what one sees in a minute and a half news package.
