  - That's my question, really. Did Aurora trigger a spate of reporting? - TWuG Aug 24, 10:04 4
    - I know. Without current statistics, it's hard to say, but I certainly believe it's possible the rate is unchanged and we were all just unaware. -- nm - mara Aug 24, 10:06 3
      - bradycampaign.org keeps a list of shootings with 3 or more deaths covered by news putlets - Roger More Aug 24, 10:25
      - just curious...you really think these things didn't get the "Breaking News!" treatment? -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 24, 10:18 1
        
        Just above there is the link to a shooting with 3 deaths that happened in Alabama 2 weeks ago and this is the first - TWuG Aug 24, 10:23
