There was another school shooting on Friday and it’s taking top billing as the top news story of the day on all major networks. All press resources are apparently being directed to North Arizona University where one student is dead and three others are injured after a freshman opened fire on a group of students.
While this is being reported on with all the drama and caliber of a mass shooting like, say, the Oregon shooting, if you actually read the story, you’ll find out it isn’t the same at all.
Two groups of students got into a fight that escalated to this shooting. One of the groups involved Delta Chi Fraternity members. One guy had a gun. The suspect did not leave the scene and was promptly arrested without further incident according to USA Today. This is nothing like the traditional mass shooting that the media usually pounces on.
In fact, worse shooting altercation stories come out of Chicago on any given weekend.
So why is the media pushing this one as top story in America as if it’s another Columbine, Aurora, or Sandy Hook?
Probably to keep what’s going on with Russia and Syria out of the headlines.
