With mass shootings a near daily occurrence in the US, for those events with lower body counts—the single death at the Colorado STEM School earlier this month for example, or the two killed at University of North Carolina-Charlotte on April 30—media coverage tends to be perfunctory. Reports document the murders, sure, but they don’t dwell, and invariably a ‘sage’ point is made about just how inured we’ve all become whilst demonstrating exactly how inured we’ve become by sandwiching the story between talk of two Trump tweets.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo is my favourite news anchor. (And, incidentally, I’ve almost forgiven him for hosting his show on Ash Wednesday with a cross thumbed onto his forehead). In the aftermath of the Colorado STEM School shooting, he interviewed the parents of Kendrick Castillo, the 18-year-old who was murdered while tackling the gunman.
