Chron.com has been better of late about updating its Froot Loop morning news “reporting” with details gathered by the newspaper’s own reporters later.
Their reporters must have been too busy to fill in details today, though, as this morning report remains on the website:
Police are searching for a gunman they believe shot two men in northwest Harris County early this morning, according to televised reports by KTRK (Channel 13) and KHOU (Channel 11).
Authorities gave reporters this account: Police responded to reports of a shooting at an apartment at the 100 block of Hollow Tree near Interstate 45. Police found one man shot and several men fleeing the scene in a Ford Crown Victoria or Mercury Marquis with Louisiana plates.
The vehicle was later found at a nearby Lexus dealership where a security guard found a man hiding and other man shot in the stomach.
Police recovered a gun at the apartment parking lot and have one man in custody. The investigation continues at the crime scene. No word on the conditions of the men.
At least Chron.com is now crediting their early-morning news sources (which makes Chron.com look a little less dumb if those sources happen to get some facts wrong). It would be better, though, if the Chronicle city desk was actually doing its own city reporting.
