In light of the Vienna attack and seeing a lot of contradictory and flatly incorrect information circulating, I'm going to re-up this piece about how @petermansbridge covered the Ottawa shootings. https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2014/10/cbc-ottawa-shootings-cable-news/

"The broadcast was deliberative and deferential to the facts even when they were sparse. Exacting and painstaking, but never slow or boring, Mansbridge weighed the credibility of every detail, constantly framing and reframing what we knew and, most crucially, how we knew it."

Important things to note right now:

1. We do not know if the synagogue was targetted.

2. This was not a Jewish neighbourhood.

3. The attack is still ongoing.

4. Lots of contradictory info circulating, much of which is translated from German sources.
