10 Killed in Shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College

Column: Shooting coverage is routine, and that's the story

That sounds cold, heartless. But can you name the shooter in any of the more-recent tragedies? Or even where they took place? We aren’t numb to it, exactly. We’re numb to tragedies in the Middle East or Africa. 
In the United States, at least, we still bother to become outraged enough to tweet a thought or two before going back to whatever else is trending.
That’s become literally true; according to the Washington Post, the tragedy today in Roseburg, Ore., brings the total of mass shootings, in which four or more people are killed or injured, to 294.

Thursday was the 274th day of the year.
