Perhaps a less cynical explanation would be that no one died, but were rather wounded. (As far as I can gather, no one died; seeing as the offenders are charged with '20 counts of attempted murder'.) It's hard to get worked up about a situation where people didn't die. I know that sounds heartless, but it's unfortunately true. Speaking as a European, it does give me a feeling of 'happens all the time in America'. Because if this should be a 'national tragedy', then surely the USA would have tonnes of national tragedies. And isn't that the biggest tragedy?
