The question may not be inherently stupid, although it does contain a false premise. You really should follow the news before you start claiming the news channels aren't reporting a story. It's been front page news on literally every publication for 3 days now. I have to assume then that this question is actually rhetorical. If there's a statement you're looking to make you should probably just make it.

Americans are afraid it's yet another thing Canada does better than them.

...if it wasn't reported, how did you hear about it in the first place?

A simple google and the shower's over without a wank.

Any school shooting is tragic, but incessant back to back coverage outside of the immediate affected area is not very helpful to anyone, and has been shown ^[https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0117259] to cause copy cats ^[https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/16/us/school-threats-closings.html]. The impact to the community shouldn't be glossed over, but especially for this particular incident, there seems to be a lot of focus on the identity of the shooter (and why it has been a topic of discussion), and that's what especially results in copy cats. If the goal is to minimize mass shootings, not sensationalizing them is the key.
