Again, this paper makes the headline all about Antioch, continuing to bash Antioch. The headline should read “shooting in Pittsburg leaves one dead.” You writers just done get it. You have to dig Antioch any chance you can. A$#holes
When you have a publication of your own, you can make the headlines whatever you wish. And yes, I would use ANY city the person was from in the headline.
I’ve noticed all news does this. Anything bad that happens in Antioch or is remotely associated with Antioch makes the news. In the last few months there multiple shootings, murders, assaults, a several hour stand off all in Pitt…not a single word. I was shocked the take overs that took place last Friday in Antioch and all over Pitt streets down Hwy 4 to 680 into Concord, that went on for over 4 hrs, involving 400-500 cars did not make any news platforms at all.
