Isn't a police report required in all shootings?

[Dees]

Who filed it and when? Is it a matter of public record?

[juliana24]

1. Yes, it is.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Yes, unless you are a Republican Vice President.

[juliana24]

13. I stand corrected. nt.

[benburch]

3. It is here in Illinois.

Even if you shoot yourself in the foot.

4. CNN originally said the shooting will be investigated

by the local sheriff's office. A report must have been filed in order to do the investigation.

15. I wish I could see a photo of this attorney's face. It'll never happen...

of course.

[proud patriot]

5. Yes I believe it is

:hi:

6. i was wondering about that also

no mention of a report in any of the articles, and no comment from local police/sheriffs, either. lots of mis-info in the original reports as well. originally reported that whittington was taken by ambulance, now it says transported by helicopter.

tomorrow morning, scotty will announce that the shooting was the result of bad intel.

7. Uh, there IS no law with CHEENEE-Shrubbite-Kingdom n/t

[Lifelong Protester]

8. In most states all hospitals must report gunshot wounds

to the local law enforcement.

9. I am really interested in the twenty-four hour delay.

Twenty some years later, they still whine about Teddy Kennedy and his eight hour delay in reporting his accident. Why did Cheney need twenty-four hours? sobering up? getting story straight?

[rodeodance]

10. yes, several have asked. speculations thus far.

[ThoughtCriminal]

11. They had to make sure that a cover story was not needed

Once they were sure, then the story was released.

[UTUSN]

12. Sorta like no-swearing-in for GONZALES? n/t

[Poiuyt]

14. And why did they wait 3 hours before they took the guy to the hospital?

I'm guessing that Cheney hadn't finished hunting yet.

[juliana24]

16. Whats the daily bag limit on lawyers anyway?

:)

[DefenseLawyer]

18. Cheney hadn't finished...

hunting down and shooting the other members of his party.

[juliana24]

17. He'd be in handcuffs right now, if he wasnt the VP, in most states.
