AP and CNN covering the same story

The Associated Press and CNN each posted a new article on the shooting rampage by a law enforcement official in Wisconsin. The two articles appeared within 30 minutes of each other. AP has a reporter on the scene and the writing reflects that. His article is more complete than the CNN report, which relies on radio station reports for the article. Granted the AP story was posted later than the CNN article, but AP was willing to commit to six dead and a seventh in the hospital while CNN was only able to say that at least five had died.
