Not singling you out, but I hate articles like this because there is no way to tell where the incident occurred.

There are probably twenty Lafayettes in the USA - so I click through to the site to find out more info and the site doesn't identify which state either, so you have to click through multiple articles on the source site to piece together where in the country this happened.

IN in this case.

I'll second that! Drives me crazy trying to find out WHERE!

You can tell right off the bat that this Lafayette was east of the Mississippi river. Station call letters to the east begin with “W”, to the west, “K”.

This assumes, of course, that only local news is being reported in the article.

I agree with you and when I post I usually indicate the state in articles like this.

As soon as I hit post I realized I forgot to indicate IN and for that I apologize.

Had you clicked on weather or traffic, instantly you would know the locale. Are you sure that you’re wideawake?
