without comment (which is what the OP did) then all it does is clutter up the forum with run of the mill articles from the local section of newspapers. In the grand scheme of things this is a routine incident. Posting without comment is fairly pointless.

Maybe DU should create a separate topic for posting gun crimes? Then you could pre-number all 30,000 stories and just fill them in during the course of the year. You could have even more stories if you posted crime event where a gun was involved but never fired. Maybe to make it even more interesting, you could add stories for all 50,000 auto fatalities every year. Next burgularies... then zoning violations...
