This just in

Sources who asked to have their identities protected have informed this journalist that the murder occurred during an attempted break-in. It seems that the basketball (who evidently was not so innocent as first reported) was caught by the owner of a certain Toyota van. Apparently the grand theft auto (van) was interrupted by the van owner when said van owner approached the van to load children inside and take them to school. When the vehicle was started, and put into reverse, it became evident that something was lodged in the wheel well. Despite numerous attempts on the part of the van owner to persuade the basketball to leave the scene of the attempted theft, the basketball refused to budge. The van owner was overheard declaring "I have got to get these kids to school and I really don't have time for this!" Shortly thereafter, the deflated carcass of the basketball was found tossed in the yard like yesterday's rubbish.

It is unknown at this time whether charges will be brought against the van owner. Neighbors seemed to feel the basketball "got what was coming to him! He had no business being where he was in the first place."
