San Jose man rescued from burning house
Firefighters rescued a man from his burning San Jose home yesterday. Robert Kent, 50, is reported to be in grave condition after a kitchen fire spread to his attic, engulfing his home in flames, San Jose fire Captain Rob Piper said. Kent, unconscious, was rescued from the kitchen of his single-story home on Annapolis Way after firefighters were notified around 3 p.m. He apparently did not have a smoke detector. He is reported to have third-degree burns on 50 percent of his body, according to a nursing supervisor at Valley Medical Center, where Kent is being treated. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Couple robbed in church parking lot
A tourist couple was robbed in the parking lot of Saint Mary's Cathedral, said San Francisco police Sgt. Lawrence Price. The victims, WeiMing Chen, 28, and his wife, Li Lu, 30, were reportedly taking pictures when they were robbed at gunpoint by a man described as being about 18 years old. The couple said that the assailant took about $100, a Visa card, a camera, and their passports and airline tickets. It is unknown if the couple, part of a tourist group made up of about 30 employees of a Taiwan airline, made their 1 p.m. flight back home. Police are still searching for the suspect.

Fire: Good lead. The rest reads pretty well, but appears to be one big fat paragraph. Break it up. 13/15
ReplyDeleteRobbery: Good lead sentence, but include the "when." You don't really need to say "the victims" -- you've just said a couple was robbed, so if you name them at the start of your next paragraph, I'll connect the dots.
Also, how about some paragraphs?! 12.5/15
