A San Francisco television reporter, Jeff Bush, was robbed while working on a story on Friday in the Bayview district, a high-crime area. While there, two men with guns demanded Bush's equipment. Bush immediately handed over his equipment and ran to take cover. Luckily, Bush had a security guard with him. The security guard was also armed and was able to shoot one of the robbers as they ran away.
Later, Officers arrested two 19 year old men from San Francisco and charged them with robbery, weapons and conspiracy offenses. One of the men in the shooting was treated at a local hospital. Because of these types of robberies happening to journalists, their jobs send security guards with the reporters on assignments in high-crime areas. Bush was doing a follow-up story on a fatal car crash when the robbery happened.
I am very glad to hear the men that attacked this innocent television report were caught. It is very scary to think that some people are willing to do such acts of violence to people for their equipment or to try and make money. Luckily these men where not seriously hurt. I used to want to be a news reporter, this kind of stuff makes me rethink that.
