I'm sorry but please some one catch me up.

I think it was two days ago when the Guards were shot in DC It was reported that they both died. Today reporting was they both were in critical condition now one has died. What did I miss and when ?

Governor of WV assumed they were killed, when he was told of the situation soon after it happened, and said so to reporters. News reports ran with it. He walked it back about 15 minutes later.
WH was in total disarray from the start; multiple suspects -no, one suspect, suspect on the loose, suspect wounded, both NG were killed, no, one was killed the other wounded, no, both in the hospital in critical condition.
Then, of course stories about who was to blame for the suspect being in the country.
It's a cluster, and it's always better to wait for the Wurlitzer to slow down before believing anything.

You have the timing and sequence correct.

days before facts are released, wonder whether people will believe ultimate facts if we don’t hear breaking news immediately, even if from unidentified sources. By now, everyone should be suspect of breaking stories, but think most want to hear latest even if not 100% confirmed.
