This morning, as I was driving through
Ellicott
City, I stopped to take a picture of the
church where
yesterdays shooting occurred. I wasn't the only one either. There were camera vans and reporters
from
WJLA and
WUSA on the scene as well.
John Gonzalez, the Channel 7 reporter, approached me and
asked if I was affiliated with the church. At that point I became acutely aware
of the fact that I was wearing black jeans and a black polo shirt. I must have looked like
a preacher. I quickly dispelled that notion. “I’m just a local
blogger,” I told him.
At this point John mentioned to me that he actually lives in Columbia. He commented
that it was nice to able to pull an assignment this close to home. I suspect
that it a relatively rare occurrence for a DC reporter.
