Would it hurt...

...to take just a little extra time to write stuff? Just got this CNN news alert:

"Capitol Police say the apparent gunshots that sparked a Capitol shutdown were likely caused by workers using tools."

Could we not have said: "Capitol Police say noises that sounded like gunshots that sparked Capitol shutdown were likely caused by workers using tools."

Unless, of course, somehow the workers managed to use tools to create apparent gunshots.

I’m sure glad it wasn’t a gunman hiding in a congressional office. According to the house leaders he could remain there forever.
