A 5 Eyewitness News article reports that a St. Paul man was charged in the shooting of a bus driver on Interstate Highway 35W.
The story used three sources, and one of them was not named. Two of the sources include a release from the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, and the other was video evidence from MnDOT.
The third source was a criminal complaint, which gave descriptions of the order of events, but the source who provided the complaint wasn't named.
The sources follow each other throughout the story. The first source is the release which provides significant details, then the next paragraphs use the criminal complaint's information. The information from the video was inserted within the criminal complaint.
The writer attributes to the sources in a standard fashion, referring to them at the beginning or end of each paragraph. It is effective because it shows what information is confirmed by the Attorney's Office and which information is from somebody who witnessed the shooting.
