While the Chron has put as many as 11 reporters on the SF Zoo tiger attack story, a San Francisco correspondent for the New York Post has come up with perhaps the biggest scoop so far — that the two brothers injured by the tiger had slingshots on them at the time. That’s according to writer Emmett Berg (see bio), a freelancer whose articles have also appeared in the LA Times. The NY Post has been printing and distributing in the Bay Area since December 2006. Berg, who attributes his information to an unidentified source, writes that a vodka bottle was also found in the car of the brothers, Amritpal Dhaliwal, 19, and Kulbir Dhaliwal, 23. ABCNews.com reported last night that the brothers have hired Mark Geragos (Scott Peterson’s lawyer) to represent them.
