Police Search for Two Hit and Run Drivers in St. Paul

By Ned Leebrick-Stryker

 St. Paul police are looking for two hit and run drivers after a 91-year-old man was injured Tuesday night and 7-year-old girl was injured Wednesday morning, the Pioneer Press reported.

 The young girl received minor injuries and a broken leg after being struck crossing the 1800 block of 7th Street East, St. Paul police spokesman Steve Linders said. 

A sedan described as gold or silver struck the girl. The driver has not been located after they fled the scene, according to Kare 11.

  The 91-year-old man was hit after eating dinner with his wife at The Lexington. The restaurant's executive chef and co-owner, Jack Riebel, heard the crash from the patio the Pioneer Press reported. The perpetrator drove off before he could see, according to Riebel.

“The fear, the uncertainty on (the man's) wife’s face will be forever in my memory,” Reibel said. “My heart goes out to her and those who had view this horrible tragedy.”

Analysis

I chose an article from the New York Times about hundreds being arrested in Moscow during a protest. The use of numbers in this article was diverse. To begin, many of the numbers used were body counts for those arrested. "200" to be exact. Not only, that, though. There were many dates thrown around, from the "1917"  Bolshevik Revolution, to dates like "Nov. 5" which is Unity Day in Russia.  It's interesting to me how many different ways in AP style numbers are used. There is not one standard for numbers. If it is below ten, you spell it out. If it is above ten, you use numerals. In addition, dates use numerals in all cases, as does age. Numbers can get very tricky, so it's best to consistently refer myself to the AP style guide until I feel comfortable using them. The NY times throws around a lot of numbers, which could become overwhelming . There needs to be a balance between the words you use and the numbers that you use.

Mankato Office Will Not Face Charges Following Shooting

By Ned Leebrick-Stryker A Mankato police officer will not face charges for fatally shooting a school teacher during a violent encounter last year, prosecutors said. An investigative file said that Officer Gary Schnorenberg was justified when he shot Chanhassen's Chace Tuseth, 33, because he thought his life was in danger after Tuseth starting kicking him, according to ABC news.  In a report released Saturday, Schnorenberg was called to a disturbance at a Country Inn and Suites in Mankato on Dec. 31, 2016. The police were called because Tuseth was throwing things, according to the Pioneer Press.  Schnorenberg shot Tuseth three times. (The assault) left Officer Schnorenberg laying on the tile floor stunned and fearing for his life, made it reasonable to conclude that the use of deadly force was necessary to protect himself and possibly others,”  Stearns County Attorney Janelle Kendall said.

Kvam knew he had to help the animal. “I’ve never had the opportunity to do anything like this,” Kvam said. “I felt like I gave back to the wildlife.”
