What coverage? A local news site covers, maybe a small article in a national news site so they can get clicks saying a mass shooting happened. But it drops off the radar almost immediately precisely because it isn’t a mass shooting. Uvalde had coverage for days and the typical gun politics debate in the national politics with speculation on whether or not it would impact elections in Texas. None of these other incidents that are being counted remotely have that kind of focus because they aren’t the same kind of phenomena and not because of a lack of energy.
