Both, actually.   I'm listening to WBUR, which of course runs WRNI - the 
sole Rhode Island NPR affiliate.  NPR has been getting reports for the 
national news feed from Av Harris, a WRNI staffer.

The local news updates have been heavier on the body count listings, but 
the national news break has been keeping a running count, too.

Man, if NPR is this sensational I can only shudder to think how bad Fox 
news is...
