二日前にカナダのオタワで男が警察をころした。 Does this sound natural?
- Japanese
A little unnatural
In verbal, I would say カナダのオタワで二日前に男が警察官を殺した, in news articles 殺害した would
be used instead.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Japanese
A little unnatural
There is nothing wrong in particular with this sentence, but still somehow it sounds a bit awkward or abrupt as a whole.
多分、"男"が突然現れてるからかなー。
If you could give me a little more context, I'd be able to help you better.
