i am not linking to any specific article, because i'm sure everyone will find the same info at their favorite news source. my only real question is: why do we put the label of "worst" school shooting on virginia tech simply because of the body count? i'd nominate this one for "worst" because of the ages of the children killed, even though it is only the second "worst" shooting by body count. maybe some day we will live to see a day where we don't have yet another mass shooting to compare to all the others....

I frequently confuse that detail of Hinckleys shooting with Chapmans, sorry.

Chapman wasn't a mass murderer, though. Neither was Hinckley.

True, but it does demonstrate how easily and frequently notoriety motivates shootings.
