WCAX Is Not Reporting A Junior High Shooting!

Vermont-based television station, WCAX posted a story from the wires today instructing them NOT to go with a story regarding a junior high shooting in Oxnard, California. Instructions from the Associated Press inform them "a kill is mandatory". Awkward! Full text follows:

Associated Press - February 13, 2008 9:13 PM ET

OXNARD, Ca. (AP) - Kill the story filed as V2023, V2025, slugged Junior High Shooting, which moved at 6:02 and 6:13 p.m. Eastern. Do not use the story. The medical examiner says Lawrence King has been declared brain dead by two neurosurgeons and is clinically dead but remains on a ventilator for possible organ donation. He has not died.

A kill is mandatory.

Make certain the story is not published.

Too late.
