The Associate Press reports an inmate, who escaped from a Mississippi prison, shot and wounded a Nashville police officer following a routine traffic stop. Inmate Joseph Jackson was taken into custody shortly after the shooting Thursday. Sergeant Mark Chesnut was taken to a hospital for surgery, and is listed in serious condition. Jackson had escaped Thursday after going to a doctor's appointment in Greenwood.
This is a very short story, but for a hard news brief, I think it's well done. It's clear and to the point, but there is still enough information to make the story. This seems to be a form of an inverted pyramid story, but I don't think a lot of information could be cut, if needed.
