Person Shot In Chest Near Jakes Way In Canyon Country

  1. No request to investigate shooting ? I’m mean it’s Jakes way just a normal day but still .

  2. “No information into who the suspect is or may be has been released to the media…”

    You don’t get information “into” something. It can be “on”, “about”, “pertaining to”, “concerning”, etc., but not “into”.

    The word “into” often implies movement or transformation. In this context, it doesn’t accurately describe the nature of the information about the suspect. The information itself isn’t moving or changing – it’s simply about the suspect.

    Why do all of your articles have mistakes like this? Doesn’t anyone there speak English natively?

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
