I apprecciate your letting us know about the breaking news in real time. This is one of the things I love about the forum.
In this case the news developed as news does and the emergency was explained.
The mis-read on your post and the resulting exchanges were a riot! This sort of thing happens frequently and is usually ironed out with both participants retiring to their respective corners to repair the bruises and bleeders.
The thread was a great read and a hoot to boot!!!!!
Made my day! Don't let the mis-read keep you from posting news in the future. We need it.
Just a guess likely a mismatch of Ten Codes between states. Sounds like a state or local police dispatcher broadcasted it out before verification and the tv station heard it.
