I don't recall in the last few nights if I heard of any shootings or killings being reported on the nighttime news.
Has anyone heard any reporting on this?

'There's blood everywhere': Family of 7 dead in suspected Chatham County murder-suicide
According to a news release, Chatham County deputies first received a call from a home on Moncure Flatwood Road shortly after 5:30 p.m.
In the 911 call, the son of one of the victims told police to get there quickly.
"There's a guy at my house shooting right now," he said.
He told the dispatcher that he was hiding in the closet.
"It doesn't sound like anyone's in my house anymore. I don't know what's going on," he said.
He then left the closet and told the dispatcher there was blood everywhere.
"My dad is dead," he said.
