KPNX aired live coverage from beginning to what looks like the end now (they caught the guy at about 12:30). The other stations pretty much ignored the story other than during their regular newscasts. 3, 10, and 15 aired decent coverage when they aired anything, but 5 ran their normal newscast, including weather and a jobs ad.
I'll bet that if the perp was an attractive woman (see: Jodi Arias) instead of a 40-something white bald ex-con with neck tattoos, all the stations would have been wall-to-wall with it.
Six people getting shot, one dead, with a good portion of a large city under lockdown, should be a higher priority than the regular houswife-drivel that our local stations air in the mid-morning. All the stations other than 12 should be ashamed of themselves, but Channel 5 has the most egg on its face since they didn't even stick with it during their noon news.
