YouTube video purports to have caught Darren Wilson indictment story

Don't know if it's true or not but this video shows a page with a news story on Fox 28 about Darren Wilson being indicted.

Could have been a test story (two stories being written ahead of time) that got accidentally published.

published once the happening happens. Sometimes the pre-write up is accidentally published in error.

which accidentally got posted...It happens occasionally with sports scores, celeb deaths, etc...

"Jacob Burbrink" evidently works for WSJV-TV in Indiana...

This is quite common for news stories, obituaries, elections etc. I would bet they have a not guilty story ready to go as well.
