We're no different than the rest of the country -- we're still talking about the tragedy in CT.
I actually went looking for some distracting bit of good news, and I could only find one story, which happily was about a shopping spree instead of a shooting spree. It turns out that one of the local Targets was the beneficiary of the "Shop With a Cop" program and 30 kids got to go on a holiday shopping spree.
I did have to bypass many other stories, including the one about an Indiana man with $100,000 worth of collector firearms who threatened to commit a copycat crime at a Cedar Lake elementary school on Friday (brace yourself America for that next twist) ... and about a gun buyback in Evanston that had been planned for months after a school shooting there but that just took place this weekend. Oh ...and just the usual weekend shootings that are a regular occurrence in certain parts of Chicago about which you may (or probably may not) have heard ...
... but I found at least one positive news story, so there's that ...sigh ...
THE ONE POSITIVE BREAKING NEWS STORY I FOUND:
