Black people kill white people = Pay-back's a bitch
For the standard society/media instinctive reaction? It's generally:

Black people kill white people = white person did something stupid -- "Well it's sad he died from a bullet to the head, but let's face it, he WAS in Kensington at 1 in the morning."

with an exception:

Black people kill white female under age 30 = worst tragedy in the world

I didn't know until this morning that the shooter in our latest incident was black, and I didn't know the female victim was under 30. So perfect, now let us see whether the blame changes from guns.

Even the earliest newscasts identified the shooter as a previous co-worker.
And although the man is Black, I don't think I heard any tv remarks about his skin color.

These killings were along the lines of a disgruntled employee going "postal",
and the uniqueness of the event happening "on camera".

Sorry, this incident doesn't fit your mindset at all.
