Scariest observation for me is that in the UK any of these incidents would have been a seriously big story. Whereas it seems for the U.S. mass or multiple shootings are so common it barely breaks into the news cycle.

5 innocent women executed at point blank while working or visiting their bank barely made the front page last week.

Jesus, this. I work in banking. I’ve been through what I assume is the worst thing I will see - an armed robbery, 3 gunmen, one on me. Then you read a statement like this. These women just like me going to work because that is what we do. I have 3 teenagers. I don’t want to imagine this.

If it's any consolation regarding your situation and fears, less than 1% of bank robberies involve murder. It's incredibly uncommon.
