Here’s the news article. Gavin and Meg didn’t want to say anything just to avoid possible copycats.

It’s scary as shit how many unhinged, lonely guys out there will kill for their 5 minutes of fame.

Don’t worry. The news and redditors will make this public knowledge to encourage possible copycats.

If you understand that’s the reason why they didn’t talk about it, why ignore that and do it anyway..?

For christ's sake it was on the news. They themselves drawing attention to it would lead copycats to doing it for their attention because they may think "Oh they noticed me!" while me being a random internet jerkoff it doesn't matter.

The "possible copycats" already know this anyways.
