I turned on CNN around noon and had it on for awhile. They kept cycling through the same loop of clips from the scene. It was not a long loop so you'd see the same scene of a victim being carried out on a gurney about once every 75 seconds while some loud guy guessed as to what might be happening. I turned it off.
I don't want to take anything away from the seriousness of the situation there and the grief that the families/friends are going through but to me it's just another random shooting. Hardly seems rare at all anymore. Sorry if that is insensitive but they are my true feelings on the subject.
Pretty sad that the victims were new to the country and had in some cases, I imagine, arrived in America for a safer life.
