Six adults were killed early Sunday morning when a suspect opened fire at a birthday party in Colorado Springs, police said.

The suspect, who was allegedly the boyfriend of one of the victims, took his own life, according to police.

Officers responded to a 911 call at the Canterbury Mobile Home Park around 12:18 a.m. and discovered the victims and suspect with gunshot wounds. Six of the people were pronounced dead on the scene and a seventh was found with serious injuries and was taken to the hospital but succumbed to their injuries, police said. It's unclear if the suspect was the one taken to the hospital.

2. Not Enough To Be Newsworthy

Aren't we at the point where these incidents need not be covered by the media?

I'm sure this won't register a blip anyways. If not for DU, I probably wouldn't have even heard about it.

There should be at least 10 fatalities these days in order for something like this to make the news. Six killed is pretty much an everyday occurrence, like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. And that does not make the news either.

3. Is It 6 or 7?

The article says "Six adults were killed early Sunday morning ...".
But the next paragraph says "Six of the people were pronounced dead on the scene and a seventh was found with serious injuries and was taken to the hospital but succumbed to their injuries, police said."
Either way, it's awful. But, the article is confusing.
