The numbers for October 22, 2014
Ottawa was in lockdown after a shooting at the Canadian Parliament building and a war memorial Wednesday morning. A soldier and one suspect were killed, the CBC reported. Details are scarce, but Vox has a summary of what’s confirmed and unconfirmed as of late Wednesday morning. Another useful reference: the breaking news consumer’s handbook from “On the Media.”
