Breaking news coverage of the New York shooting dominated the evening news hours across all three networks. Fox News remained the most-watched network during this period, followed by MSNBC and then CNN. CNN was ahead of MSNBC in the Adults 25-54 demo. The Five, which aired before the breaking news occurred, still managed to be the No. 1 program of the evening.
