I saw your post after I posted. (I did a search on FR but found nothing about this story.) Looks like you beat me by 13 minutes. I first heard about the story on a ABC radio report this morning. No doubt the SRM will be having a field day with this story.
The variation between the 2 stories is interesting. One has to ask why they differ and are there realy witnesses or is this just based on “the word on the street”? Either way, I’m afraid it will be an excuse for more violence.
