While TV stations continue to send one person MMJ’s out of stories, things like this will continue to happen.

KNDU (Tri-Cities, WA) sent an MMJ out to cover a teachers strike when a man with a gun approached her and told her to get into the news car.

The Reporter complied, and the punk told her to start driving once they were both inside the car.

The station says that the man suddenly got spooked, exited the car and ran away with a small piece of camera equipment.

The reporter was not injured.

Police arrested the thug that they said did the carjacking.

A very scary situation for the MMJ and for her co-workers back at the station.

This should also have stations thinking twice about sending a one person crew out on a story.

But, it is all about saving money and doing more with less.

Thankfully, this story ended without the MMJ being physically hurt, no sure about her mental state.

I know TV stations want to make as much money as they can, but what about the safety of your employees? Does that mean anything?

You know what? It might be best if you don’t answer that.
