One dead after early morning Muncie shooting

MUNCIE, Ind. — A man is dead and police are investigating after an overnight shooting.

The body of 39-year-old Joseph Johnson was found in the street next to his car on the 1500 block of South Pershing Drive around 4:15 a.m. Sunday. He was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead on the scene.
Police say Johnson had a firearm, which was recovered from the scene. Gunfire was exchanged between Johnson and the suspect, who is believed to have used an automatic weapon.

Well, is this a case of A:"so-called journalist doesn't know full-auto from single shot" or B:"bad guy strikes with a Tommy Gun". My money is on A.

Saw that as well. Actually took a screenshot of it for when the story changes.

Guess it HAD to be an automatic weapon since he was shot multiple times. Time will tell if the story morphs into something else or just fades away.

Local news media is guilty of that all too many times. There was a 14 year old as I remember, killed in a drug deal that was shot 4 times. News media screamed about the automatic assault rifle used, but when the cops found the actual killer, he had a Winchester lever rifle!

I wouldn't read too much into that….unless it says full auto theres nothing really there to see. Automatic as apposed to revolver because they found shell casing…thats all I see to it…..not calling it semi-auto isn't that big a deal, its still a automatic…just not full. A life was takin and hope the cops find the killer.
