My head must be in the sand

I had heard nothing about this:

Christopher Bryan Speight, a 39-year-old security guard, surrendered to police at daybreak Wednesday after leading authorities on an 18-hour manhunt following the shootings at a house in rural central Virginia where deputies found a mortally wounded man and seven bodies.

The victims were four adults, three teenagers and a child.
The death of the 4-year old child is particularly tragic.

The article mentions that Speight was a 'gun enthusiast', and that neighbors had automatic weapons fire, and weapons fire at night.

My guess is that this man snapped, an the victims just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Sad.

Doesn’t anyone else think it is strange that this incident didn’t attract headline national television coverage? It didn’t even receive a section one mention in most major U.S. newspapers. The initial reports were mostly in the overseas press. What was so special about this incident, about this guy, that it apparently elicited a news damper from the powers that be?

My wife said she had heard 'something' about a shooting 'somewhere', but nothing specific.

And you're right, this does seem like it's right up the MSM's alley.
