    I think that “alleged” can be dropped, if the emergency-services people had to deal with evidence that was sufficiently-obvious.

    Don’t push deluded-doubt to help the disinformation empire, please.

      “Alleged” exists until proven in a court of law. It’s how the system is uilt to protect potentially innocent people from being slandered. The news has a responsibility to be neutral and that language is a necessary part of it.
