Assignment 2: Twitter Breaking News Over 24 Hours

Man repeatedly rams Fox affiliate building with his truck.

In the early morning of Wednesday, September, 5th, Michael Chadwick Fry, 34,  repeatedly rammed his vehicle into the side of the Fox 4 Dallas studio building, causing significant damage. He then exited his vehicle and began throwing fliers, many which involved news coverage of a police shooting incident in 2012 in which he was involved in. Many of the papers had been written on by Fry where he accused the police force of brainwashing, fraud, and attempting to kill him for years. Fry is currently in custody. (via Dallas News)

I followed Fox 4 Dallas reporter Shannon Murray's Twitter account as she chronicled the event at her workplace. Note that tweets not directly made by Murray were retweeted by her and appeared on her Twitter timeline.
