Pellet Shots Fired at Cleveland News Crew

While management at Gray’s WOIO in Cleveland continues to push for solo-MMJ live shots, a news crew from the station was targeted again.

WOIO Reporter Jim Nelson and a Photographer were covering a story when a car drove by and the occupants fired a number of shots from a pellet gun in their direction.

Was just chatting with an older couple, when a minivan pulled up with a punk teen hanging out the window. He shouted, "Hey!" before unloading a plastic pellet gun. Not very nice. pic.twitter.com/OTK7FiOcvl

This is another example of why news crew safety should be the number 1 issue and why stations should not send MMJ’s out alone.
