People who are really significant in a major event acquire notability, because people write about them at length.  explicates this dilemma fairly well. To quote, "if the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." The shooting is a ''major'' event, not some 15 minutes' wonder on Twitter, and the individual in question has received extremely high levels of coverage. We've well passed the threshold
