There is a computer Algorithm used to make mass shooting articles across multiple states. Type in "mass shootings on the rise" along with almost any state, then do another state. You will get the same writer(s), with only slightly different statistics, written only a day or so apart.

Here is an example:

Florida: https://www.theledger.com/story/news/2021/03/01/gda-mass-shootings-rise-in-2020-fl-nled/43442377/

Ohio: https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/2021/02/27/gda-mass-shootings-rise-in-2020-oh-nabj/115506438/

Keep doing it and comparing, it is odd and manipulative
