I agree. I personally have never seen a shooting either. Maybe these people have seen to many Hollywood movies? And in the case of Mayors and some of the police been involved with the “worse” side of the populace more than with the normal people that are everywhere living quiet and mostly peaceful lives?
There was a shooting in my little town 4 or 5 years ago that was a love triangle thing among people who don’t even live here. Before that it was nearly 30 years since there was a murder here.
