Because they aren’t mass shootings?
There are many reasons we won’t hear about them: The victims/shooter aren’t of the “correct” racial or political demographic, the weapon used did not fit an agenda, shootings are a regular occurrence in the area of said mass shooting, or a civilian ended the shooter’s spree, among others I can’t think of at the moment.
If you count shootings involving three or more victims they commit 90% of them...
For the most part, the shootings listed lack randomness. They are mostly shootings committed among people who have chosen to participate in the illegal drug trade and turf wars.
The victims in Midland and Odessa had no idea that they placed them selves in a dangerous situation. The victims in El Paso were all innocent, as were the victims in Dayton, Sutherland Springs, Santa Fe, Sandy Hook, Stoneman Douglas, etc. etc.
It is the randomness and the innocence of the victims that draws our attention, thus making these events more tragic.
They shouldn’t be happening anywhere. Our society is sick.
