Catch of the Week

On Oct. 9, the Danbury Patch website ran an article called "Danbury Police Log: Shots Fired, Felon With a Dangerous Weapon."

From what I have learned about internet writing, the subheading shouldn't be a legal disclaimer, but a quick synopsis of the article.  The disclaimer could still be placed at the bottom, but the subheading should be a basic "Report of gun shots leads to arrest of convicted felon."
