Firefighters Save Man
Yesterday in San Jose, a fire broke out on Annapolis Way, engulfing a single-story home and leaving a man in grave condition at Valley Medical Center.
When firefighters arrived at around 3 p.m., they found Robert Kent, lying unconscious on the kitchen floor of his home surrounded by flames. While the fire is still under investigation, it appears to have started in the kitchen and worked its way to the attic. There were no smoke detectors found throughout the house.
According to Rob Piper, the San Jose fire Captain, Mr. Kent, who appears to be in his 50s and a retiree, has second and third-degree burns on 50 percent of his body. A nursing supervisor confirms that Mr. Kent is still listed in grave condition.

Cathedral Robbery
A couple from Taiwan was robbed at gunpoint yesterday in the Saint Mary Cathedral's parking lot.
According to Sgt. Lawrence Price of the San Francisco Police Department, police are on the lookout for a man who was last seen wearing a black jacket, and a black cap; approximately 18 years of age.
On a tour from Taipei, WeiMing Chen, 28, and his wife Li Lu, 30 became separated from their group around 10 a.m. After making their way to the lower parking lot, they were approached by a man who demanded their money while waving a gun around in the air.
The couple gave the man all they had, including their cash, their visas, their camera, their passports, and their airline tickets. After obtaining what he wanted, the assailant took off running.
It is still unclear if the couple made their 1 p.m. flight back to Taipei with the rest of their tour group.

OK, you're the reader and you've got a choice:
You could either read a story about 1) a house fire and a guy in grave condition...or 2) firefighters rescuing a man from his burning house after finding him unconscious on the kitchen floor, surrounded by flames.
Which would you read first? I think most people would go for #2. So should you.

Good lead, but next go directly to who the victims are (if you start with a delayed ID lead, P2 needs to ID them) and how it happened. Then tell me police are still looking for the robber -- that's what we'd expect so it's not news.
