Four people were dead. I didn't see that make the headlines anywhere but here. I would guess in just about every major city in this country stuff like this happens on a fairly regular basis. If all the national news did was report about people shooting their family members that would be all the news ever consisted of.

While both are tragedies and involved children being murdered, you have to admit that the story of a guy committing one of the largest mass killings in the history of this country is a little bit of a bigger story right?
