There are no new Los Angeles Times stories that I can find, nor any new reports in the Daily News. Maybe I am not looking in the right place.
The May 6 editorial in the Daily News suggests the same thing I did in another post; the broadcast news is hyping this quite a bit and the incidence of these kinds of shootings are in fact fewer (or were) than in previous years.

I don't feel any better; in fact, now that the number is up to "about a dozen", I feel more apprehensive, though Jay Leno's jokes about it tonight were pretty funny (Sorry, none of them are online yet) and that does a bit to defuse things.
