    Fair. But is it national news worthy? Seems of interest to folks living in the area, but this is sadly not anything special. Just an excuse for people who don’t live there to be instilled with more unnecessary fear

      I get you. I do live nearby, and it’s pretty scary, mostly because this is the sort of place you don’t lock your doors all the time. But yes, the national news has been sensationalizing the story for clicks. For us, it’s important to have updates and actual information, not just “it’s been six hours, let’s make another article for more engagement.”
