is this not national news?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The Little Rock City Board of Directors met for the first time Wednesday night since the weekend's mass shooting.

Emotions ran high as other agenda items took a backseat to backlash from citizens fed up and frustrated with the continued violence.

"I heard on the news there were extra patrols at Pops on the River," said Rev. Benny Johnson who called out city leaders during the public comment period. "What about when it pops in the hood?"

Antonio Davila sees the recent violence as a call to action, coming to Wednesday night's meeting with a gang intervention proposal in hand to give to the board. He says the city is at a point were it's too late for gang prevention, and only new tactics will be effective.

Others came with an ultimatum to hand over to city leaders: either step and actually stop the violence, or step down from their position.

"Playtime is over," said one speaker who only indentified himself to the board as Brother Larry.

"I am calling on you tonight to resign," Shanelle Smith told directors during the public comment period.

Police Chief Kenton Buckner also addressed the board, updating directors on the latest in the mass shooting investigation and promising a crackdown on out of control clubs.

New information about the shooting is limited, as the investigation is on-going, but new details revealed by Buckner is that it took more than 20 hours and 20 detectives to process the crime scene at the club. He also said there are five shooting victims still hospitalized, two listed as in critical condition.


why so little news?

Maybe, because statistics show that in the USA,2015, there were over 15,000, murders,possible news fatigue.

The nature of news reporting in free or mostly free societies has never been primarily about fully informing the public. It has always been a cross between guessing what will turn out later to have been important, with what might get the most audience attention, and whatever the latest "news fad" happens to be.

Yes no doubt.

LITTLE ROCK — The fireworks Bryant Moore hears exploding nearby are making him jittery. The pops that pierce through the apartment walls rattle Moore, forcing him to remember what happened days earlier: the flashes­ of the gun. The pow pow pow.

Moore, 22, dropped to the ground as more than 50 bullets sprayed across the Power Ultra Lounge nightclub in downtown Little Rock early Saturday morning, according to police estimates. In total, 28 people were injured — 25 by gunshots — in the nation’s largest mass shooting since the Pulse nightclub attack a year earlier in Orlando.

“Like a damn movie,” Moore says, describing the scene. He was shot three times, in his thigh and in both feet, which are now wrapped with black, bootlike contraptions.

“I ain’t never been scared of no guns,” he says. “And now I’m like, damn. . . . I guess it had to take me being shot to just come to a realization that this is not a damn game. Life is not a game.”

Authorities have said all the injured people are expected to survive. Still, the lack of fatalities doesn’t make the incident less shocking. It is the third mass shooting in Arkansas this year, as many mass shootings as the state experienced in all of 2016, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

“It’s gotten a lot of attention, and I think rightfully so,” said Lt. Steven McClanahan, Little Rock Police Department spokesman. “Because 25 people shot at one scene, I mean that’s never happened in our city before.”

The shooting touched off the flurry of speculation and questions: Had Little Rock become the latest victim of terrorism? Were the state’s gun laws to blame?

Instead, city leaders say the incident appears to be a more familiar story of violent crime, similar to what other big-city mayors and police chiefs have highlighted in recent years.

Little Rock has seen a bump in violent crime over the past few months, officials say. There have been 29 homicides this year, compared with 15 at this time last year, McClanahan said Monday. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, citing preliminary data, reported this week that violent crime in the city in 2017 had increased more than 20 percent when compared with the 2016 figures from the same time period.

Saturday’s shooting unfolded about 2:30 a.m. during a performance by Finese 2Tymes, a rapper from Tennessee whose real name is Ricky Hampton. Hampton was arrested Sunday on outstanding charges of aggravated assault with a gun in an unrelated shooting in Forrest City, Ark., according to news reports.

Police say gang members were present at Saturday’s shooting, and some in attendance “have been on our radar screen,” McClanahan said.

No one has been charged in connection to the shooting.

Mayor Mark Stodola said violence in the city has been “focused primarily with two small groups of people,” describing a Hatfields-and-McCoys scenario, involving warring families. McClanahan described the situation as a bit more complex but said authorities think the city’s jump in crime can be linked to gang activity.

“We think a lot of these are second-generation gang members, that are now coming of age, and contributing to violence in our city,” he said.

Stodola said an early morning phone call about the incident on Saturday left him with a “sickening feeling in my stomach.”

He expressed concerns about “too many guns in the hands of the wrong people,” saying officials need to more vigorously monitor how felons get possession of firearms.

A law allowing concealed handgun permit holders who have taken up to eight hours of active-shooter training to carry their weapon in certain bars will take effect in September, according to the Associated Press. In this case, though, Stodola doubted the law would have mattered.

“The people who had weapons in that lounge, I’m only surmising, but I would imagine that they had those guns regardless of what the law was that was passed,” Stodola said.

He said Little Rock’s surge in violent crime is “not unlike what’s happening in other cities around the country.” He said he has spoken with other mayors who have relayed stories of what is happening in their communities.

“What drives it? Obviously, illegal activity,” he said. “Whether it’s an epidemic of illegal drugs and somebody cheating somebody out of some money, or obviously somebody disrespecting another individual.”

On Monday, there were reminders of the chaos at Power nightclub. Blue medical gloves remained outside the club. Bits of glass were on the sidewalk, and a “Notice to Vacate” sign was posted on the door. Inside, a woman’s shoe could be seen on the ground.

“I’m in Power, and my best friend just got shot,” a woman’s voice says on a 911 call from Saturday’s shooting, released to The Washington Post on Monday.

“Hello, they just shot up the club. Oh my God,” another woman tells a dispatcher, on another call.

As Moore contemplates the experience nearly two days later, he resolves to start carrying a gun when he goes out.

“I ain’t going to be in no predicament like that again,” he says.

Not really.
Seems it was gang related rather than crazy related.
And it didn't involve the desired media victims; kids, LGBTQ, politicians, or celebrities.

100 people were shot in Chicago over the 4th weekend.
That seems to be the national news. That 100 people were shot.
Not 100 individual stories of people being shot.


How much is necessary?
You found an article.
And it looks like you found a "national" news site with the story (msn).
A quick google search also turns up an article in the NYT.

Do you really mean "why so little buzz?"
