No one here reads the news, do they... as I said, it's been in the news for almost three days now...
As for casualties, it was first, I think, 330. Then 360, then 460... and it was earlier '600 or 700 people were in the store' then it was 900 and there were 400 injured in addition to the 460 dead... early reports had 330 dead and 100 injured (fifteen critically).
I know I read the news more than most people. But when I load my browser up when I turn on my PC, TC is my homepage. I then open another tab and open CNN. Then generally the New York Times, sometime later. When I want in-depth articles about the news and not just tidbits like CNN has. Well, not quite tidbits, but not as much detail. And they have an awful, awful tendency to, about halfway into articles, start repeating things from previous articles about the subject and spend the rest of the article doing that... so annoying...

This latest article says 409 dead, 454 injured, ~130 missing...
