Adventures of a Modern Day, Middle-Aged Hero, on the Glory Road(to family security)

Whoa...don't bog me down with details!

I understand in this day and age of instant gratification, it pays to be the first one to hit the street with something.  I just question what the point is in being the first to come out with a story that has no details.

Case in point provided by the Everett Herald:

Homeowner fatally shoots suspected burglar south of Everett, police say.

EVERETT -- One man is dead after a reported shooting Monday just south of Everett.

Police believe a homeowner shot and killed a suspected burglar, Snohomish County sheriff's bureau chief Kevin Prentiss said.

The shooting was reported just before noon in the 10500 block of 21st Avenue SE. Detectives with the Major Crimes Unit are investigating.

Further details weren't immediately available.

Yup...that's it.  And 6 hours later, the Everett Herald has yet to come out with an update.  Luckily, Komo News 4 is still out there to get us real time data, and so far it seems like it was a rightous shoot.  Guy comes home and finds a stranger in his house.  The confrontation quickly gets heated, and the guy who doesn't belong in the house gets dead.

The neighbors don't exactly seem broken hearted about it either.  Seems like they have gotten tired of things going downhill in their neighborhood.
