Alright I was wondering how fast news travels. In the newspaper this morning (April 5) the headlines were about a shooting in which several people died followed by the shooter commiting suicide. I know these events are fairly common now (which sucks pretty bad) so to differentiate the occurence from others here are some details:
Location: Binghamton, NY at an immigrant aid center
What: A gunman named Jiverly Wong shot and killed 13 people then himself
One lady called the cops who were on the scene in two minutes and who's presence likely sparked the killer's decision for suicide. So if anyone has heard about this event leave a post and what state/country you live in and what your source was.
I live about an hour from Binghamton its so surprise this was in my newspaper. I figure if any news story has a chance of getting around it'd be one like this. As another point feel free to leave speculation as to why these sort of shootings are becoming more common.
I think news does travel fast, though with delay which is typically a day or two. I wouldn't expect events occuring a few hours before distribution, being in the newspaper by the time the newspaper is distributed.
