And so do a lot of others. As soon as his race and religion was known, it vanished.....................
I’m not sure even the shootings themselves were reported very heavily, mostly because they were sort of in the DC sniper pattern and one person who had had a possible glimpse of the shooter reported him as being black. So since it was pretty likely that it would be somebody like the DC pair, it simply wasn’t reported.
It’s pretty hard to defend yourself against a random sniper, but I think people should have been given a little more warning. On the other hand, it says he was found on the basis of information supplied by the public, so maybe there was more reporting there and somebody put two and two together.
