Bellingham, WA man arrested for helping B.C., Canada school shooter | FOX 13 Seattle

Federal authorities arrested a 30-year-old man in Bellingham on Tuesday. According to the video's description, he is charged with conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country, accused of helping the person behind a school shooting in British Columbia in February.

FOX 13 Seattle, the KCPQ newsroom that covers western Washington, put the report up the same day. It drew more than 55,000 views in its first eight hours. A new video on this channel usually gathers about 3,000 in a full day. Bellingham sits just south of the Canadian border, and the case links a Washington city to a tragedy across that border. For a station whose daily lineup is built on Puget Sound news, the reach of this report stands out.

The comment section moved just as quickly. Viewers left far more comments in those first hours than the channel usually sees in a whole day. Several of them focus on the cooperation between authorities in the two countries.

The story ran beside the station's usual local coverage: Tacoma weighing cuts to close a budget gap, a tight legislative race in the 29th District, and a museum exhibit of Seattle Sonics memorabilia.
