I think the fact that this wasn't a mass shooting makes it even worse.

Sorry, upon re-reading my comment, I communicated my thought incorrectly.

My intention was to point out that the not-mass shooting overshadowed the mass shooting in the news. Obviously both are bad, but 3 people dying in a single shooting incident is worse than 1 person dying in a single shooting incident, yet the 1 person dying is the one that gets the news coverage.

People aren't equal in the eyes of the public media. News at eleven.

I think that points out something even more horrifying about the American news cycle. A social media influencer being killed vs high school students being killed. Perhaps that's a bit reductive but I feel like the HS shooting ought to be a LOT more shocking, if it weren't a headline that we sadly have become somewhat blind to.
