I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I was more concerned about an air conditioner falling on my head than I was about random shootings in Manhattan. Considering the sheer amount of people there, I'm surprised this kind of stuff doesn't happen more.
I would think a gunman offing his boss and then shooting 9 other random people on a city street in New York would always be heard about in Calgary, regardless of timing.
