Where Are The PIOs?

Tuesday night, January 25, two men were shot just after 10:00 pm. in the vicinity of South Calhoun.
Just where on South Calhoun, appears to be a point of contention. 

According to the kids in the million-dollar WANE-15 newsroom, the incident happened in the 2700 block of South Calhoun. 

Meanwhile, Brien's crew at WPTA ABC21 agrees and reports the shooting in the 2700 block of South Calhoun. 

However, down the hall from WPTA ABC21, Fort Wayne's NBC folks report the gunfire in the 2800 block of South Calhoun. 

And the ever-accurate Journal Gazette places the shooting in the 2500 block of South Calhoun. 

So, the Maven has to ask "which is it"?

In fairness to the news gathering folks, it should be noted that not one of the stories the Maven read quoted a police source, so absent official word from the authorities, the kids in the newsrooms appear to have done the best jobs they could given the absence of FWPD PIO representatives. 

Maybe the real question should be: was it too cold for the FWPD PIOs  to work, but it was OK for the reporters and reporter-ettes to endure the sub-zero weather?
