Violence feast at noon! Joy!

(TAKE DEVEL DETAILS OPEN)
Eyewitness News: Web Story TBA: Woonsocket man shoots his girlfriend and her family this morning (but does not kill them), runs out and then blasts his own head off. (Heard somewhere today in context: "Good for him!")
Eyewitness News - Shooting in Attleboro: Apparently, a young man living with his parents is shot overnight over drugs, and the shooter escapes in an Impala, possibly via Pawtucket.
Rowland Will Plead Guilty: All you need is one!* CT's former governor says he'll plead guilty to a federal charge: one count of conspiracy to steal honest service.
Pedestrian Hit by Car
Woman Bitten By Pitbull

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeezus.... Bleeding enough for you?

MMQ-QODD: Why wasn't the woman bitten by pitbull in the morning show?
POSSIBLE ANSWER: The first thing that popped into my head was "MAN-BITES-DOG." Is it a story if DOG-BITES-MAN? Is it a story if the dog was one of those evil killer pit bulls so often the darling of a violent story? Is it a story if we don't know whether the woman owned the pit bull? There's more hesitancy these days to "put in a story just to put it in," especially when a) the video is not that active or contextual or b) we can't get a lot of our questions answered.

* Just ask Buddy Cianci
