10 shot to death not worth A1 OR B1?

You may have missed the headline in this morning's LAT -- buried on B4. Ten Angelenos murdered in an especially violent spate ("We haven't had a weekend like this in quite some time," an LAPD deputy chief says) didn't rate the California section front. Feature stories on forest logging and private investigator Anthony Pellicano did. OK, it's Tuesday, maybe the editors didn't want dated news on the section front. Still, it also didn't make the "second front" on B3.

Update: An editorial on Wednesday cites the 10 murders to argue for giving police chief Bratton the new officers he wants.
