First thing this morning I covered a successful water rescue. A woman had been missing all night and was found at first light. She and her car washed down a rain-swollen creek. It's not yet clear how long she'd been in the water when she was found.
When I arrived I couldn't really see into the car but I honestly thought it was going to be a body recovery from the silence of the scene and seeming lack of urgency. Rescuers reached the car, and I finally became aware of movement and realized it was a rescue.
I got some really good shots of the rescue (to be posted later), and went back to the office pretty excited.
That's when I got an e-mail from my editor saying that the victim of a stabbing that we reported in today's paper had died. He's giving me the story, which will be a tough thing to cover. The deceased was a football player I'd covered earlier in the month.
