Well I imagine this is a case of Yes and No.

They're probably trying to prioritise the issue right now because its appalling.

They're probably not trying to prioritise the issue in the past because its rare.

The technology to recognise the music exists. The technology to recognise the shooting may not exist and so it may be difficult to play whack-a-mole with it.
