What's the matter with Kansas (or is it Missouri)?

Yesterday four human beings were shot and killed in a shopping mall in one of the Kansas Cities. Today if when I go to the KansasCity.com news home page I find nary a mention. The featured story is about a legislative initiative to repair university buildings. In the "More from the Star" section the first mention I can find is the sixteenth listed story.

Is Kansas City such a dangerous place that this isn't news? I admit I haven't been there since the early 80s but it certainly wasn't like that then.
