26. I'm sorry, this is not breaking news

It's a great background story, but it really doesn't meet the SOP of LBN.
This is a background/analysis article on an event that happened in the past.
Also it is a local story. The hosts realize that gun stories are all the rage on DU lately, but we have agreed that we can't fill LBN up with every single "gun" event.
This would be good for Good Reads if you would like to repost.
