Covering 2 big stories this week

The news in Syracuse this week has been overwhelmed by two very big, late-breaking stories. First, on Monday, a fatal crash along Route 31. Then, Thursday, a shooting at an AT&T store in Rome. These two stories have consumed much of my time during the last four days, and so I wanted to save links to them here for posterity.

Into this posting I’ve embedded a 9WSYR.com Video Report that I arranged and edited using video content shot by a NewsChannel 9 team sent to cover of the shooting. It tells the story of the moments immediately following the shots through statements by two witnesses. It is a web-only video that scored hundreds of views within hours of being posted.

Due in large part to these two big stories, I’m also proud to say we’ve seen amazing amounts of traffic on 9WSYR.com recently.
