Astounding Tales of Reporting

Best of the Web pointed out the story of a man shot during a robbery. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:

Greenfield - A man who tried to rob a Greenfield gun shop at knifepoint Thursday afternoon was shot in the chest by the shop owner, police said.

The victim, identified only as a 57-year-old Greenfield man, was taken to Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Wauwatosa, according to police.

Police have yet to interview the victim because the shooting left him unconscious, Detective Sgt. Paul Schlecht said.

So, it's a more up-to-date rendition of bring a knife to a gun fight. What's spectacular about the reporting is that the wounded suspect is described as the victim. It's not until near the end of the story that he's called the suspect.

Great writing, eh.
