Notability

This event was hardly covered by national media, I'm live in Washington and while this event was big on local news, I can't recall ABC, NBC or the cable networks covering. I'm not saying this article should be deleted I'm just saying this is more of a local story, at least in my mind. I guess what does make it notable is the fact that it called for gun laws in the state and that the shooter used an AR15, which aren't used in typical shootings around here. Also, one of the victim's was the shooter's ex girlfriend and a total of 3 teenagers in college were killed, which already sounds like a school shooting, expect it was at a house. Keep in mind, These are just my thoughts, feel free to give your own opinions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:8880:19B6:D9EF:4574:8575:E8A4 (talk) 07:39, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps your recollection is not as good as you think? You should read the two previous Articles for Deletion discussions at the top of this page. CBS News. NBC News. Honolulu Hawaii. Ireland. Los Angeles Times. Besides these, the article cites several Associated Press stories, the Washington Post, the Washington Timnes, and even one from Dhaka, India. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 07:53, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
