Hoo boy, the article wasn't kidding. [The local news story does misgender her repeatedly.](https://www.12onyourside.com/2026/03/13/man-found-dead-after-overnight-shooting-petersburg/) (WWBT is [owned by Gray Media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWBT) before anyone reflexively jumps to Sinclair.) --- EDIT: Given the language of the article and given that [*The Progress-Index* had basically the same wording](https://www.progress-index.com/story/news/crime/2026/03/13/man-found-dead-residence-elm-street-petersburg-shooting/89143028007/), I'm going to conclude WWBT got effectively a press release from the police for publication and had minimal if any involvement in investigating this story. Fairly typical of local news stories about crimes.
