Houston Sports Director Covers Florida Shooting

In Today's TV news world of everyone is supposed to do everything in a newsroom, yesterday was a good example. 

KTRK (Houston) Sports Director Greg Bailey was in Florida covering the Houston Astors Spring training when the assignment desk called and told him to drive an hour south. 

"I knew it was bad when the news desk called," Bailey said. 

Bailey and Photographer Francisco Barragan raced towards Parkland, Florida and Douglas High School.

It was there that the station's sports Director became the breaking news Reporter. 

Here is one of his live reports:

As for his stint as a "News Reporter", Bailey says, "My heart breaks for these families. I want badly to do them justice and I hope everyone hears the message from the student who survived: "We cannot let this happen again.""

Sadly.... it will.
