I first heard about this terrible incident just before the Michigan at IU basketball broadcast on ESPN Thursday afternoon, when I was checking my myriad Hoosier media sites for any last minute info.

Unfortunately, TV news-gathering is never much in evidence over holidays, and that's as true in Indy and Bloomington as much as it is here in South Florida.

It just seems so much worse in Miami because there's so clearly a higher percentage of news reporters here who seem to prefer doing "soft" stories, rather than ones that require some degree of mental acuity and resolve.
