My question was: "So, how many other people have been shot so far today?"

Did He minimalize the death of those on whom the tower at Siloam fell? I don't think He did but He did correct the disciples' thinking that the deaths in question were somehow more tragic than other deaths. |
I don't think people think the deaths at Virginia Tech are "more tragic" than other deaths that may have occurred today; it's probably the fact that there were so
many tragedies all at once... in one place... by one person... Tragedy multiplied.
