Real question... Why is this kind of thing posted to World News? It's a horrifying story, but it's also one incident in one location. Me knowing about it doesn't help me or anyone else in any way. I guess you could hope that it inspires some gun owners to better secure their firearms, but that's about it.
This kinda one-off incidents were all over Reddit. It just exists to stoke people's anger most of the time, but it's also super easy to push a specific agenda by posting these horrible, local stories.
Mostly it's a result of me cross-posting from my own community which is less strict about what I consider news and the publisher in this case BBC labeling it as world news. I get all my news from RSS.
