"Which is why this story is anything but common"

The point I was trying to make not very well is we have sometimes 5 to 10 shootings a night
in major cites across the US.
It's a blip on the local paper and that's all it becomes.

Sometimes the MSM will run with a gun death story if they think it will bring ratings
but most times it's gone the next day because shooting deaths have become so common in the U.S
