not really comparable though.

You're talking about the number of teenagers killed in a city of 8 million or more. (How large was Hungerford?)

Do you have any idea how many people are usually murdered in a city this size over the course of a month / year?

I don't, but I'd want to before I fell hook line and sinker for a media-led bout of hysteria about it.
