Local news coverage is poor.

Many moons ago a friend from High School and I imbibed numerous drinks at the Fog Cutter bar located in this hotel. It wasn't a Sheraton at the time and it has nothing to do with this shooting - but I just wanted to chime in.

Channel 4 (WTMJ) has been on the air with the story since soon after it all started.

A-ha...I know there are people like you and I out there. We are remembering what we were taught and believe. We have just not had the need, or opportunity to state it before. We keep it inside. Now we must take our stand and not be frightened by the nay-sayers. Thank you for your reply.

Church of God was mentioned at a different post. Maybe it's a church plant starting up...hard to say at this point. Waiting for details.

This place was Marriott for a long time. Switched to Sheraton a few years back.

Interesting - I drove right past at 12:50 pm (about the time they say it happened) and didn't see anything either.
