Breaking news you CAN get elsewhere (02-23-2007 edition)
The Chron.com Froot Loop Bureau has been busy (badly) rewriting the television news this morning, after a relatively quiet couple of days.
First, there's this:
Four teens were arrested after assaulting several people overnight, according to reports this morning from KTRK (Channel 13) and KHOU (Channel 11).
Authorities gave reporters this account: Five men were attacked by the group in southwest Houston over the course of an hour. One victim was assaulted with a baseball bat while the other was stabbed.
Police caught the teens after a foot chase around Hillcroft. One teen was found with keys from a stolen vehicle. They were also identified by eyewitnesses.
And this:
A Fort Bend medical facility was forced to decontaminate an emergency center after a poison scare Thursday night, according to KTRK (Channel 13).
Authorities gave a reporter this account: Police responded to a to a home in the Pecan Grove subdivision after a man apparently tried to commit suicide. The man was rushed to the Oak Bend Medical Center.
That's where authorities learned the man had tried to use potassium cyanide to kill himself.
The emergency center was shutdown [sic] and the man's family was called to the center to be decontaminated.
KTRK must LOVE that they are the unofficial "partner" of the Chron.com Froot Loop bureau!
UPDATE: The stories have mysteriously been "updated" with actual reporting by Kevin Moran.
