Shotgun executive terror report dismissed as ‘hoax’ as Fox stands by story
Gun Rights Examiner has gone through extensive follow-up on this story after the Perazzi press release, explaining all of the verification efforts gone through before publishing the story, and the subsequent outreach to FOX31, to law enforcement and to Perazzi after the company dismissed it as a fabrication. Conversations have also been held with other media personnel including 9NEWS, a Colorado Gun Collectors Association official, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, and other potential witness leads that turned out to have merely heard the story from others. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report was intended to provide the final word on this bizarre story, which instead, just took a totally unexpected twist that quite frankly, leaves me scratching my head wondering what further surprises are in store.
FOX31 Standing By Perazzi Story
This is the strangest story I have ever been involved in. The 9NEWS story I linked to earlier today has been updated to include:
This is just baffling the hell out of me, and I have my column on hold pending more information. I just got off the phone with the Adams County Sheriff's Office, and they are putting out a press release in the next hour or so and will be doing a 9NEWS interview later this afternoon.
In the mean time, what I'm holding out for before hitting "publish" is a statement from FOX31 clarifying why they are standing by their story.
UPDATE: The new report is here.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Fox31 reporter responsible for the original story stands by the reportI note their link at present produces a "runtime error."

As evidenced by the multiple updates I posted on this blog yesterday, I've been following all the leads I could find to get to the bottom of this story and have come to the conclusion that I and others got taken in. I'll provide more details later today when I issue a retraction piece, which I'll write after I speak with one more lead in a couple hours.
