The Hawk Eye didn't submit article about shooting in today's newspaper
I checked into today's newspaper to see if the shooting was published in the newspaper. There wasn't anything published.
The Eastern Iowa Fireground complained about the lack of updates presented on their website. They weren't sure whether it was presented into the newspaper or not. The answer is that it was never published.
The website still hasn't updated to the incident. This is a snapshot taken at 5:57 PM today.

The Hawk Eye and KBUR failed to warn locals about shooting
During the shooting, The Hawk Eye website never reported it at all! This was taken at 12:00 AM this morning.
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.

The incident is occurring nearby the location of Grimes School at 1021 S. 10th St.
It isn't determined yet of what the man looks like, but he is carrying a long gun. Long guns tend to be either a rifle or a shotgun. It isn't clear whether he's carrying a rifle or a shotgun. The suspect is currently at large and is advised to avoid the area. He was last seen walking north.
