Words Have, Like, You Know, Meanings

So there was a seven-hour standoff in East Anchorage overnight, with an armed suspect who barricaded himself inside an apartment after threatening a woman with a weapon.

But there's more: according to the local NBC affiliate, "Officers said [name redacted] assaulted the woman and threatened her with a weapon inside the apartment before they came outside and started arguing. They said both were in a relationship with each other." (emphasis added - Ed.)

I sure am glad to know they were BOTH in the relationship with each other. Imagine if only one of them was in a relationship with each other.

Boy, that would be awkward...

Chickenmom - I guarantee that nobody at Channel 2 in Anchorage writes as well as Sgt. Shockley does out there in Dutch Harbor.
