Very early Sunday morning a shooting occurred in Bridgeport just before 3am, “man shot to the head” came across the EMS scanner.  Out the door I went to bring you and the rest of the media the news.  As I mentioned in an earlier article 3am is my bed time.

I was back by 3:30am and now I had to edit the video, get photo frame grabs, upload the video and write the article.  3:30am is late even for me!  If anyone has ever edited by computer, your computer screen is not full size, it has the timeline, preview and program screen and lots of tools (see the photo).

At that hour I was very tired and did rush to get the video completed as well as the photo frame grabs.  I had to get bed and be up for 10:30am for church with the family.  In that rush I did a frame grab that showed the victim’s face.  It did not appear that way in the preview screen.  The last thing I want to do is to upset you the viewer over an image.  If I upset you  I apologize.

I did learn that a protest against DoingItLocal.com was scheduled for today by a Bridgeport activist.  Shoot the messenger I guess.  The activist wanted our radios taken away from us and our ability to report to you and the rest of the media  silenced.
