Maybe we missed it

But we're pretty sure we didn't. You might think Your 5NEWS at Noon on KFSM would have led with this story:

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Nursing home operator Beverly Enterprises Inc. said Monday it has agreed to be acquired by a private-equity firm for about $1.5 billion after a previous sale fell through because financing couldn't be lined up in time.
Fillmore Capital Partners will pay $12.50 per share for the Fort Smith, Ark.-based company. Including debt to be absorbed by Fillmore, the deal is worth about $1.8 billion. North American Senior Care Inc. had pledged $13 a share but Friday's financing deadline passed without the deal being completed.


Instead, we got a report on those shootings at a mall in Tacoma. The biz segment led with the GM job cuts, which include closing a plant in Oklahoma City.
