In the hours immediately after a van attack in Toronto left 10 dead and many more badly injured in hospital, a Facebook post began to make the rounds among some local journalists. This image of a Facebook post started circulating online soon after the attack. In the chaotic moments after a deadly attack, where do journalists look for information, and how can they know if it's real? Facebook later confirmed to Braga that the post came from a real account registered to an Alek Minassian. The post doesn't specifically reference an attack but a "rebellion" and makes no mention of Yonge Street, Toronto or impending violence.
