There has not been a mass shooting in the last 4 days....

Should we celebrate?

Is it "news" when one of these "events" isn't in the national news for more than 4 days? I am finding myself becoming numb to all of the mass shootings anymore. It is almost like a rarity to see none on the news when I turn on the TV. What has the country become?
