Woohoo!  I went to school there!

*ahem*

What I find interesting is how different articles about this kind of 
thing word things in the headline:  was it a shooting, an incident, a 
massacre?  Were the people shot, killed, murdered, or are they merely 
dead at such-and-such location?  If the killer committed suicide, are 
they listed in the death count, or separately?  Does the headline count 
injured?  Is the event fact, or alleged?

...on another note, placing blame for an event on others who are totally 
unrelated to that event and have no power over it is pretty silly.  It 
is not John Doe in Juneau, Alaska's fault for not sending an ineffective 
letter to his representative if a kid in Nevada dies from choking on a 
can of Alaska crab, even if John Doe happens to be a secretary for 
middle-management at the company that prints the labels for the cans.
