The Virginia Tech incident

The media here in the US is going ballistic about the shooting that killed 32 students & professors of the institute. Through all of this three things struck me vis-a-vis what might have transpired back in India.

1) No television channel has so far tried to do a story with the killer's family involved in it. In fact there is not even a mention of the family. Apparently the day that the identity of the killer was exposed some media gathered at the family's residen however no one came out to comment and they just left them alone.
2) There are no incidents of vicimisation of people of Korean descent living in the US.
3) No television channel is so far talking about stricter gun control laws federal laws (for the entire country ) instead of state laws as they exist now in the US

1 & 2 - Truely appreciable 3 - strange!
