When a reach famous person dies, the attention will always be diverted and focused on them, it's been that way for decades and decades. There was also a school shooting (besides the Kirk one) that happened almost at the same time, but on the same day, and it got little coverage in comparison.
People just don't give a fuck about crimes against nobodies. That's not a dig at the person who died a horrible death, it's just a fact. I 1000 percent guarantee there would be no headlines for any of us regardless how terrible the death was, if we died in the same instance as a famous political figure or celebrity.
