And this is exactly why mass shootings get all the news cycles, but the much more common gang violence doesn't.
Which is incredibly dumb and why we can't have nice things. The solutions to the more impactful, everyday issues like car crashes and gang violence are very different from the solutions to more rare, but more "newsworthy" issues like airplane failure and mass shootings.
