And if there was some sort of gang activity involved, or other pre-existing criminal connections/involvement, then we will likely never hear about it again because those sorts of shootings don't work for the antis to make their gun control case.

I always try to understand context for these events. I spent a fair amount of time traveling for work around the Pittsburgh area for my job but didn't remember that Wilkensburg as anything unusual. Obviously the crime blotter sees it differently.

Demographics change over time. There are places in my yesteryear where you never locked your doors and wouldn't think of carrying a gun. Those same places today, you wouldn't go into with two guns.

Re: 4 Killed and 6 Wounded in Pennsylvania
The fact that there were two gunman means that this was not a case of mental illness, but a premeditated ambush of the victims. I have not read in the media of any motive for the incident, but when I hear of multiple shooters, I think of organized criminals like jihadis, drug gangs, and/or street gangs.
