According to Mother Jones, that massacre is tied with the San Bernardino shooting for second-deadliest during Barack Obama's presidency.

Nor in many editorials covering mass shootings.

According to Vocativ, Binghamton's former mayor said, "It is kind of a mystery why Binghamton isn't part of the [mass shooting] lexicon, which I'm glad about in some ways — that's not necessarily something you want to be known for." (Video via WBNG)
