Can we discuss "everyday" murders compared to high-profile shootings?

In 2012 there were many “high-profile” shootings: among them Sanford, FL 2/26/12 (1 fatality); Aurora, CO 7/20/12 (12); Brookfield WI 10/22/12 (3);Clackamas Town Center 2/11/12 (2); Sandy Hook Elementary, Newtown CT 12/14/12(27); andNew York City fire Call 12/24/12 (4).

In the same year there were 1119 homicides reported in the three largest cities in the US: Chicago; New York (414, record low!) ; City of Los Angeles.

I will first state that any person killed, by a firearm, knife, bomb, or otherwise, is one person too many.

However, it seems that it is more likely that a fund of some sort will be set up for victims of “high profile” homicides than for the more “everyday” murders.
