know what you are shooting?

[M.T. Pockets]

I've been puzzled how the media missed the story from the beginning. Isn't there at least one media outlet in the country that has at least one full time reporter following the VP of the country everywhere he goes ? If it's so important for them to know what he's doing at all times maybe they should. Even if not by his side, don't you think the media knows where he is ? I seriously doubt that there wasn't anybody in the press that knew he was hunting on that ranch. Don't they have scanners ? Wasn't an ambulance called to the scene ? How do you keep that a secret ? It sounds to me that the press wants their stories handed to them instead of working for them.

As far as making a second call the the Sheriff's office at a later time. That is something I wouldn't have even thought of. When 911 calls are made, aren't they routed through the local Sheriff's office or State Patrol ? I would think one call to 911 to request an ambulance for a gunshot wound would be proper notice to the authorities. Like Skinny pointed out, hospitals are also required to notify law enforcement of gunshot wounds.

If there was any effort to avoid reporting it to law enforcement that would be wrong, but I don't see that as the case here. I don't see the need to report this to the media any sooner than they did. If they wanted this story they should have been covering the VP themselves, how the world do you hide an ambulance going to the scene where the VP is located ?
