Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016 shooting of Philadelphia police officer
the story received the media coverage it got because the shooting was originally thought to be related to ISIS, yet no evidence of their involvement was ever proven.  This is purely a mentally unstable individual who became radicalized in his head, and decided to shoot a cop.  The shooting was politicized by others with their own agenda to push.  Thankfully the officer didn't die, but that serves to make this even less notable.  Today we have the luxury of hindsight to see that the event didn't deserve the broad media coverage it got.  Overall, a routine occurrence, and I think that  carries more weight here
