NEEDS REVIEW

As of May 22, 2026 at 9:29 PM, this is how Optics News reads the wording differences in this story.

What happened A La Porte County Sheriff's deputy was critically wounded in a shooting at a hospital in Northwest Indiana Friday morning, the sheriff's office said. A suspect from Chicago was taken into custody.
The headline split One side frames it as "13-year-old boy shot in his head, critically wounded in South Shore". The other frames it as "Officer shot in Michigan City emergency room".
Can I trust it? Not yet. Only 3 sources are matched, and the match is still narrow.

Wording differs, but the match is too narrow to read confidently yet.
