The question may not be inherently stupid, although it does contain a false premise. You really should follow the news before you start claiming the news channels aren’t reporting a story. It’s been front page news on literally every publication for 3 days now. I have to assume then that this question is actually rhetorical. If there’s a statement you’re looking to make you should probably just make it.
Why is no news channel reporting on the school shooting in Canada?

it does contain a false premise.
Someone’s learning what “beggaring the question” means.

No statement but for the past 3 days recorded NBC, ABC, and CBS nightly news and no coverage.

Why would Americans care? This happens every other week down there. Here, one is a national tragedy, there it’s just a Wednesday. This is the what happens when people soak their brains in the American social media BS too much.

Americans are afraid it’s yet another thing Canada does better than them.

…if it wasn’t reported on, how did you hear about it in the first place?

I am a big fan of international news.

It is very much being reported on here in Canada; so much so the PM has even talked about it

…the same news that apparently isn’t reporting on it?

Any school shooting is tragic, but incessant back to back coverage outside of the immediate affected area is not very helpful to anyone, and has been shown ^[journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjo…] to cause copy cats ^[www.nytimes.com/…/school-threats-closings.html]. The impact to the community shouldn’t be glossed over, but especially for this particular incident, there seems to be a lot of focus on the identity of the shooter (and why it has been a topic of discussion), and that’s what especially results in copy cats. If the goal is to minimize mass shootings, not sensationalizing them is the key.

God I wish the US did this. Instead of the old stupid ass saying: It is better to live in infamy than to die than to live in a world of obscurity.
