Essex shooting on Free Press website
Posted

Is anybody else following the alleged shooting at Essex Elementary School that's apparently in process? The Burlington Free Press is updating their website every few minutes or so with new news. Looks like they're posting stuff directly from the police scanner. Sounds like they're also in contact with neighbors.
Nobody else has any details yet, so I am refreshing the page every few minutes.
A good way to get web traffic, but I wonder how reliable the info is. Not sure if they have anybody on the ground there.
UPDATE: WCAX is also reporting the shooting. The Free Press says there has been more than one.
UPDATE II: The WCAX page has mysteriously disappeared, and there's no link on the homepage. What happened?
UPDATE III: A report from CNN.

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.
While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.
