Lighten up, Francis.

Who’s Francis?

I'm sure WMBD posted the same release probably about the same time that WEEK posted it, 39 minutes ago.

Now, we can stop speculating, it is a homicide. I refuse to speculate on shootings until the police release the details.

Still a sad situation, prayers to his family and friends.

Seriously? It said gunshot WOUNDS. Not much speculation needed.

The PPD FB page listed it as a homicide at 1:00AM Saturday morning. Now I'm not associated with the "media" but that would seem to me a pretty good clue.

Well, I'm sure there is no one in any local newsroom at 1 am to receive and post that notice from the PPD. On Saturdays, producers come in around 1:30 pm to start putting together newscasts.

Maybe you shouldn't have been so quick to correct those that said it was a homicide when the PPD had already confirmed it?

[DennisinPeoria]

Well, I have the PPD page on my FB, but I also wasn't up at 1 am to see that post. If I had seen it, I wouldn't have posted at all about the shooting. So excuse me.

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

Slow to speak, huh? Doesn't sound like anyone here on WAP, as they jump to speculation right away, no matter the topic or either political spectrum.

Just an opinion. Take it or leave it.
