After violent crimes do the crime scenes get shown on the News in the US

In Southland there was a woman attacked and almost beheaded with a samurai sword. We see her dead body by a swimming pool while the detectives investigate the scene. Later in the episode on a TV in a bar, the news was on and it was showing the body with all the blood around her.
Is it real for this to happen in the USA? Do you get to see victims of crimes on the news?
In the UK we see only a photo of people before the crime and photos of the scene after everything like the body and investigators are gone. Sometimes you see film footage being taken 50 yards away using a zoom lens and at most there is white mini tents everything.
