On any given day we can be sent on just one story, or we could be sent all over, chasing different stories.  A lot of times we don’t know what the story is until we get there.  That’s especially true when it comes to breaking news.  Yesterday is a good example.  I was working with Ray,  my photographer for the day.   In route to one story, Ray and I got switched to another.  We were sent to a neighborhood in Norcross in Gwinnett County.  All we knew was hazmat was on scene, as well as police and fire.  We did not know why.   When we got to the scene, police kept us pretty far back.  We were about to go live with the breaking news at the top of the 4pm show,  and I needed to know what happened.  Moments before we went on air, we got some information.  Police told us a woman had been set on fire, and her daughter was the suspect.  She was already in custody, but not yet charged with a crime.  We were the first to break the story.  The other stations showed up a few minutes later.   By 6pm we had learned the daughter, Na Yong Pak, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.   The woman had been taken to Grady with life threatening burns.  At 11pm we spoke with a high school student who saw the woman and called for help.  Each hour, each show, more of the story unfolded.  Chasing tips doesn’t always turn into news.  But this was news.   This morning, we learned the woman, Myong Pak, did not survive.  Her burns were just too severe.   The daughter now faces murder charges.
