WRAL TV deleted both their web page and Youtube video clip? Supposedly the video transcript quoted a student saying that it was the second shooting on campus that night. Did WRAL have an update on the story?
It disappeared from HN front page within a couple of hours, even with over 150 points, and I couldn't find it again in first 5 pages before I gave up.

HN ranking algo is really weird that way. You'd expect things to slide downwards, but they just teleport to page 10 or whatever.
