While I'm not going to argue whether your viewpoint on the why's and wherefore's of news coverage are decided by race, I will point out that this story has been covered by many different main stream media organizations:

NY Daily News http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/h ... -1.2004425" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

ABC-TV News http://abcnews.go.com/US/police-leads-m ... d=26814834" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (I first heard about this story on the ABC Evening News show)

CBS-TV News http://www.cbsnews.com/news/family-dona ... t-in-head/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (has also been on the CBS Radio News)

Fox TV News http://fox8.com/2014/11/09/heart-of-gir ... her-child/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

MSN http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/commun ... a06dd402db" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and many other news outlets. This is, I think, one story that has crossed all kinds of cultural and ethnic boundaries.

And every article fails to mention the race of the shooters, who are reported to be two black males. They're still touting the "stray bullet" nonsense. Do you seriously believe this is the same coverage we'd be getting if two white males walked up to a house blindly firing 12 rounds into it and killing a five year old black girl in her grandpa's lap. Four words....Trayvon Martin and Micheal Brown.

When we think of recent deaths by gun, these are the two that come to mind, however as the poster after this one correctly pointed out they are not callous shootings, both of these were people defending themselves.

I'm sure at the time Trayvon Martin was shot, most of us could not possibly imagine that in just a year or so, a street thug, who had just robbed a store, who would then, when stopped by a police officer, beat him and attempt to take his gun, would be honored by the President of the United States, by having no less than three of his staff attend the man's funeral. Then the poor police officer, who apparently was only doing his job and only trying to come home to his family after his shift was over, would be drug through an even a greater heck than George Zimmerman.

Some how the world is backwards, reversed and unrecognizable.

I fear for everyone's future.

Five year old little girl shot and killed while sitting on grandpas knee.

Her relatives allowed her heart to save another child.

12 bullets were fired at the house by persons unknown.

The little girl is Caucasian, she lives in a predominately Africa American neighborhood.

Yeah, you never saw, heard or read a thing about till now.

RIP
