The news conference less than five hours after the crash was held because It was important to provide information sooner rather than later, Getting said. From a public health standpoint, we wanted to put people s minds at ease that there was not an ongoing risk. The prosecutor acknowledged that the mass-casualty incident, coming 3 months after six people were killed in the Kalamazoo shootings , was hard on the community.
