Neil says that shooting was caught on the City Hall Cameras

But Neil is also quoting that info from the AP - and AP has already caused FNC to make a horrible mistake today - Shep Smith blaming protesting smokers for the shooting because AP reported a smoking ban rally at City Hall today. That rally is tomorrow.

I trust nothing coming from AP.

Would you please stick to the facts instead of unfairly smearing Shep? He never 'blamed' anyone, he just stated that he had been given info that the smoking ban rally was scheduled for 1pm at the park across from City Hall. And before he mentioned it, he included a big caveat, stating that he didn't know if there was any relation, that it was just information that he has been given, but for what it's worth, there was a rally scheduled...

Far different from how you are portraying it. Further, did you ever consider that most of the info and updates he reads and gives out are simply written by someone else in the newsroom and either handed to him or spoken by producers into his earpiece?
