It's not like the story hasn't been covered at all, The Independent and ABC News have both published the incident, it's showing up in Yahoo and other News Feeds, and the NYPD are searching for the three suspects. The story probably just isn't selling as well as the gunman, unless OOP has actual proof that the story crossed NYT suit's desk and got rejected because of the victim's status?
If they did give it more time people might complain it was distracting us from the message the gunman wanted to send.
It's also, no matter how sad and fucked up, a local story whereas the killing of a CEO who has fucked over people across the country is a national story.
