When you see the headline "St. Louis Shootout Ends with US Marshal and Suspect Dead" and you're from St Louis, the first question in your mind is, obviously, Where did this happen? Clearly it's a question the fine journalists at ABC should have spent perhaps a moment or two more answering, because here's what they wrote:
The officers were attempting to serve an arrest warrant at the suspect's home in the St. Louis suburb called Dutchtown when the man opened fire with a semi-automatic pistol as the officers tried to enter the home.
From Wikipedia:
Dutchtown is a neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri.
That's right, this is a howler on a par with "the Chicago suburb called Bridgeport".

(For locals who don't already know: it was in the 3100 block of Osage.)

Booked my tickets last night for a trip back there in April. Dad wants to take me down to Lake of the Ozarks to hike for wildflowers in Ha Ha Tonka. Still haven't decided whether I'll stay with Mom at all. I've done so the last several visits, but that's because it's about the only thing that seems to motivate her to clean up her place any more.
