Why are they all making the news?
Because they are all news. And We notice them more because they are "Front Page" or whetever the term is for TV and Internet.
The Economy is important, The Pres. is important, etc. But the shootings are new NEWS, not ongoing news.
"If it bleeds, it leads"....
Sure, we lose thousands every month to car accidents, inspite of all the improvements in safety. People are concerned, but bottom line is that they are considered accidents, not deliberate acts.
Besides, it is April, the traditional month for the crazies to come out of the woodwork.
