"Because it seems like a coverup, that why. Ask yourself if you have a right to know the information. If not, fine, you don't want to know the VP shot someone. If you think you do have a right to know, when? I'd say as soon as possible."
The incident WAS reported right away, to the local authorities as is required. Despite what the press may believe, they are under NO obligation to immediately report such an incident to them. Should this be reported in the media? Absolutely, but it makes no real difference to the audience whether it is reported that evening or the next morning.
It also would make no difference if it was reported six months later, would it?
