Completely unrelated, congrats to CBC for using OSM instead of GoogleMaps. First time I’ve noticed it.
They changed the title because it apparently wasn’t a shooting, not because of potential connotations of “mass shooting.”
A previous version of this story called the incident a mass shooting, based on an interview with police Chief Eric Stubbs. In fact, it was not a shooting. The cause of death has not yet officially been released.

CBC readjusted title to “mass killing”.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ve edited the title to reflect the change.
