This is The Times’ (of London) coverage of the Crandon shooting. I chose to highlight this article because it shows how international some news becomes. I was particularly surprised to see this article featured in The Times. It wasn’t front-page news, but did have it’s own front-page link.
I enjoy The Times as well because many articles illicit a powerful response from readers who are free to post in the “Have Your Say” section beneath the text. This story has 19 current comments, most of which are much more than just a few sentences. The featured three come from very different points of view. The first is a North Yorkshire man criticizing American gun treatment. The second is a Wisconsin man blaming the British for their past violence in America and mentions the increasing crime rate in the UK. The third is a Parisian suggesting that the American democratic system lacks general control. This is just a sampling, but they are all fierce and interesting. I suggest you take a look here.
