NEW YORK (AP) — Reporter Joshua Goodman traveled with his family to the Chautauqua Institution in western New York for a peaceful week away from the news. Instead, the news found him. Goodman, an Associated Press correspondent for Latin America based in Miami, was attending a lecture by author Salman Rushdie on Friday when Rushdie was stabbed onstage. The journalist said goodbye to his wife and asked her to pick up their two children before he began to work, equipped only with his mobile phone.

It was a remarkable example of being in the right place at the right time to witness an unexpected event. “It was very surreal is the only way you'd describe it,” Goodman said. “This was the last place you'd expect something like this.” … [Read more...] about By chance, AP reporter on scene to witness Rushdie attack
