From WGRZ ^[1]‘s website:

Two Buffalo Police officers are being treated at ECMC after being shot Wednesday night. It happened in the vinicity of W. Chippewa and Delaware Avenue.

Officers Patricia Parete and Carl Andolina were responding to a call of a fight at a gas station on the corner. The suspect ran from police, and the officers chased after him. The chase ended about a block further west, near the corner of Chippewa and Whitney, where the officers were shot.

Now something like this happens, you’d think it’d be in the Buffalo Snooze ^[2].

*patient whistle*

*looks at watch*

*continues to whistle*

*looks at watch again*

Nope, no story in the Snooze. What a joke that paper is. A story as locally important as this, and not even a mention in the City and Region, let alone on the front page. Two cops in the hospital, one in critical condition, the other a hero, and does the News write one word about it?

No mention of it at all.

Is it any wonder I don’t read it anymore?

I guess I spoke too soon. That’s what you get for not getting the print edition anymore and depending on the Internet edition. The story was on the front page of the print edition, but 12 hours after it happened, it still wan’t on the net yet. It’s still pretty pathetic.
