 * Keep - Poorly sourced and poorly titled, but this fatal Penn State University sniper shooting has social and political policy significance beyond the simple news coverage of the event. Here is COVERAGE FROM THE SITE OF THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER about a Carnegie Medal awarded to the man who thwarted the 2006 Penn State sniper attack. Carrite (talk) 17:57, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * In case anybody wants to source this out, here's COVERAGE OF THE SENTENCING OF THE SNIPER. (HighBeam Subscription Required). Unusual in that the perp in this incident was a woman. Carrite (talk) 18:02, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * And here is the Philadelphia Inquirer's COVERAGE of the event itself. Carrite (talk) 18:04, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * The event was in the news, the killer was sentenced; I never would have guessed! This still does meet WP's inclusion criteria. Reywas92 Talk 00:58, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
