Four dead in shooting in Pennsylvania supermarket

TUNKHANNOCK, EATON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- State Police say four people are dead in a murder-suicide in a northeast Pennsylvania supermarket.

Troopers responded to a report of someone shooting people inside Weis Market in Eaton Township, about 25 miles northwest of Scranton, just before 1 a.m. Thursday.

The store was closed at the time, but workers stock shelves overnight, reports CBS affiliate WYOU-TV.

Troopers found the bodies of two males and two females inside. A witness was able to escape unharmed and call 911.

How are incidents like these different from acts of "terrorism?" Why doesn't the entire world react to multiple deaths in incidents like these? Is it because mass killings with guns in the USA has become so routine, that they no longer rank as newsworthy when compared to a suicide bomber?

What's wrong with this picture?

Wait, if everybody had guns probably be even more dead people.

Never mind, I thought I had a solution there for a minute.

And stop with the "there are more white christian terrorist attacks in US than Muslim alleged", sure it is true, but just stop, I dont like thinking about things that make my head hurt.

Fox news told me the real problem is Muslims, so as long as I believe that I am all comfy inside. Rush Limbaugh says the same thing as does Mark Levin and others.

So just STOP with these facts that make my head hurt please. Anybody got a TV around here so I can watch Fox and make my headache go away?
