Actually, most of the local shootings - being brown on brown or black on black - are rarely mentioned.
If a white is involved, it usually gets some attention.
National news, they seem to mentioned the weekend death toll in Chicago once in awhile. Use to be in New York in decades past. And sometimes we get a Black lives matter killing - if it is by a cop.
Attacks on Americans overseas get mentioned every once in awhile. Attacks on European tourists outside the US rarely get air time.
Suicides, unless they are a celebrity or a teenager, don't get press attention.
The murders in Mexico almost never get in our press.
