I think the creation of this page may have jumped the gun a bit. There are possible issues with WP:SUSPECT and outside of the area it occurred, coverage seems limited (in a brief search just now all of the coverage I've found was already a month old, back to the week the event took place, and nothing since).
I would also be in favor of this going back to the drafts until further information is released. Lindsey40186 (talk) 16:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: Tragic, but doesn't seem to meet NEVENT, as there doesn't seem to be continued coverage. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 23:46, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

describes 95% of current events articles that are created. Only a brief burst of news coverage, and Wikipedia is not a collection of news stories.

- Delete: While this is certainly sad, the coverage seems limited and short-lived. Wikipedia focuses on topics with enduring significance, and this doesn't appear to meet that criteria. Waqar 💬 17:06, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
