Obviously, I can't study the whole database, and give percentages, but in practice most “images of CSAM” are either semi-professional or amateur photos of naked kids and teens in studio or home environments. Most likely with an ever-growing flood of selfies recently. Sometimes with sexual acts. I know we've all been going in a strange direction, but a naked body is still not a “traumatizing experience”. Regular person seeing that content for weeks only gets bored, and probably realizes that regular adult exploitation in entertainment is hardly any different (both meanings of “adult” here), which is actually a good development. However, you got used to cheap thrills coming from stories about “horrors out there” (whether digitally far away in some “darknet”, or geographically, in some “third world country”), and your imagination has already drawn you a picture of countless maniacs recreating slasher movie scenes (“life imitates art”?). It is simply logistically impossible to create that much, not to mention that criminals are not in a hurry to film themselves. As for “shootings” (an American term for media spectacle in which murders are just seeds), many of those have been causally televised for entertainment purposes. I recall some high profile “shooting” even involved some president showing an example of how all good citizens should consume that content in front of TV screens.
