Episode Synopsis: When a teenaged girl is killed during a suspected drive-by shooting, the story is revealed as it is experienced by the city's competing cops, paramedics, beat reporters and city officials. Detective Joel Stevens (Donnie Wahlberg) and his partner Bobby "Fearless" Smith (Mykelti Williamson) lead the investigation, while veteran officer Ray Hechler (Gary Basaraba) and his partner Tom Turcotte (Jason Gedrick) pursue a young African-American suspect (guest star Arlen Escarpeta, "American Dreams"). Meanwhile, politically savvy Deputy D.A. David McNorris (Neal McDonough) takes advantage of the tragedy to get some press for himself. Likewise, an ambitious reporter, Andrea Little (Nina Garbiras), tries to learn and leak the victim's identity. (NBC.com)
