Most events take place in 'small towns' or small suberbs of large towns.
What you get from local newspaper reporting of such events is usually more accurate than what you get listing to the major media reporting on the same event. For example: On Jan 16th, an American citizen from Nigeria, Peter Odighizuwa, attending Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Va., became disgruntled with the grades he had been given and returned to campus with a handgun. He shot and killed the Dean, a prof and a student, and shot three others. To read the national accounts of the incident you'd think that Tracy Briges and Mikael Gross physically attacked and subdued an ARMED man. A truely heroic act of bravery, except that is not how it went down. Bridges and Gross both ran to their cars and retrieved legal handguns. When Odighizuwa saw Bridges approaching with a visible handgun he dropped his weapon and raised his hands. The media's widespread omission of the fact that a private citizen with a gun undoubtedly saved many lives is simply too blatent to ignore.
