Why focus on the shooter?

It happens every time there's a major shooting: The killer gets more attention than the victims.

The 88-year old man charged with the murder of Holocaust Museum security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns got the lion's share of air and Web time.

Sadly, in trying to understand the motivation behind these attacks there is usually much more to be learned by investigating and telling the story of the attacker than the victim," noted David Sweeney, managing editor for National Public Radio.

But it is still troubling that the public always end up knowing more about the killer than those who tragically and randomly end up in their paths.
