My reaction

I feel like there is more to the story than is being reported and what is being reported is not as accurate as it should be.
Opposing views
One could say that live in the moment reporting is going to have errors and confusion as the report is coming with a boots on the ground moment by moment story .
The FBI could have reported they didn't have anyone in custody to avoid alerting the real suspect or the suspect partners that may still be on the run.
My opinion
Reporting on the incident in the moment is good but I think it is still better to tell viewers the facts that are known no matter how small with a notice that the rest of the story will be reported as information comes to light.
As a viewer I feel that on sight reporting, real time response and access to the first hand witnesses is important to report the truth. I'm willing to wait on the specifics to know the information being given is valid and true not speculative.

Reporting that the FBI denied capture but the original source stood by their statement makes one question the truth. Who does one believe?
