The Eastern Iowa Firegrounds facebook page complained about The Hawk Eye about them not updating this information on their website when it was happening!
Not only The Hawk Eye failed to deliver the information, KBUR was floating the same boat as well!
Because of this, there was a lack of information being provided quickly enough to alert the public that live in the area about the dangerous gunman. The only way people would find out about it is if they were informed by the Eastern Iowa Fireground Facebook page, a police scanner, or the word of mouth.
Two people are currently hospitalized. More could have been in danger due to lack of information that could be provided to them on time. Both the radio and newspaper industries has the best way of alerting the public through their website and on radio. It's sad to think that these two areas aren't responsible enough in alerting the public in time.
