Newspaper editor jumps into action amid murder-suicide

Quote:
PENNSAUKEN, N.J. — We're not supposed to be this close to the story.

Not journalists in my role: We are editors, desk jockeys, the ones who get the copy from the reporters who are on the scene and turn it into something for the website and later, the print newspaper.

We stay warm, safe and dry.

But not Tuesday.

We started doing what journalists do: taking photos, jotting notes, tweeting and texting the office to let them know something was happening — even if we didn't know yet what it was.
