I can't help but shake the feeling that this is 'yet another' shooting, even though each one of those shootings is an incredibly awful event that shouldn't be a norm. Or, as The Onion put succinctly:

Nation Wishes It Could Just Once Be Reminded Of Preciousness Of Life Without Mass Shooting.

    "Couldn’t there be something else that leaves me feeling immensely grateful for each day? I’m not picky; I’m just tired of it always being this.” The American populace also admitted it could use a short break from being reminded of how brief and precious life is, saying that 133 such reminders since the beginning of this year were far too many.
