One of our assignment managers has a saying: "go put your eyes on it." It's something she says when she asks a photographer or news crew to go check out something based on scanner traffic or other information. It often turns out to be nothing. But, in this case, traffic about a person in body armor shooting at a house turned out to be legit. In fact, I found out on the scene that it was the second such shooting in as many weeks. We ended up getting interviews with neighbors and the homeowners shared surveillance with us. It became a good exclusive story by just "putting our eyes on it."
