Delete Not enough evidence of notability (extensive coverage on local news does not merit notability. The event must be covered nationally or globally like in the Evening News). Shootings like this happen every day. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 19:57, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but there has to be constant coverage of the story, which I have yet to see. Those articles are written like Breaking News, which many newspapers and stations make, regardless of location. The CBS News one is less than half a page long. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 23:55, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say the article lacked persistence or enduring significance, just that it lacks indications of such. Gun murders will always attract news attention—do they all deserve Wikipedia articles? What makes this one so special? See WP:EVENT. --BDD (talk) 21:14, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Definitely a ONEEVENT deal. And, indeed, none of us own crystal balls ... which means we cannot claim that this shooting at all means our standards of notability absent any proof that it will do so. Ravenswing 18:58, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
