    Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, ...
    If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Yes, this is important, yes, it's newsworthy. No, it's not "Hacker News". It's all over the news, and there's nothing specific about hacking, or start-ups. It's not even of "deep interest" in any real sense. It's tragedy, pure and simple, and then it becomes politics.

I agree.

I'd love to see some innovative thinking from HN, but this thread is mostly the same pro anti gun ravings; confusion about mental health and mental health treatment; etc.

It's intensely interesting, but mostly shallowly so.
