Rescue -- Attribution

In this exercise, your source was the incident report.

Not Lt. Chenn. Not neighbors and witnesses, The report!

You saw the report, but you didn't talk to anybody yourself, right?

So it was " . . . Chenn said, according to the report."

Or "In the report, Chenn said . . . "

Or " . . . neighbors told Chenn, according to the report."

Make sure you understand your attribution, and that you offer PROPER attribution!
