The NIU shooting was the big story today and yesterday. A 27-year-old former student opened fire in a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, killing 5 before taking his own life. But this incident is by no means the only recent shooting reported by the national media. Last week, on Friday the 8th, Latina Williams, 23, gunned down two students at Louisiana Technical College in Baton Rouge during an emergency medical technology class. Yet this event passed under the media radar, save for a brief mention in the major news outlets. Why? I can think of a few reasons. What do you think?
Here's an AP list of recent campus shootings.
