Gunfire erupted in City Hall this afternoon, killing Councilman James E. Davis of Brooklyn and the gunman, an apparent political rival of the councilman, and sending other council members diving under their desks, city officials said. [NYT]<p>*Is this confusing, or what?*

Consider the Web to be a "first draft"; an opportunity to develop stories and try out various approaches until you find just the right words for what you want to say, while keeping your valued subscribers up-to-date on news that happens outside your normal cycle.<p>Or, consider that the story was tossed onto the Web site without being edited.
