In a shocking turn of events in Ecuador, some armed men stormed a studio of state-owned TC Television in the port city of Guayaquil, donning balaclavas and brandishing large guns. They interrupted the live broadcast and held the staff hostage. This is one of several violent incidents that took place across the South American country on Tuesday. Alina Manrique, the head of news for the channel, told The Associated Press the experience was traumatic as gunmen held everyone at gunpoint.
