Whilst it looks like a lot of sources, they are all from December 2014. There is no evidence of lasting effects or coverage to meet

Keep. Though the sources are all from about the same time period, there was a substantial amount of SIGCOV nationally making this a pretty high-profile event. I wouldn't necessarily expect to see much additional coverage after the event itself, there's not much to add, though a quick search did turn up at least one additional article from the following year: Recovering from tragedy, one year after the Bradley Stone murders. nf utvol (talk) 00:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The coverage isn't too sustained, admittedly, but, there were two 1-year anniversary retrospectives to this (one linked above, other here), plus this 2016 article about how it was a big investigation, plus it seems to have spawned significant commentary at the time due to the circumstances surrounding the event related to veterans care and domestic violence, which makes me feel this information should be retained in some form. There is a mention of it in a 2018 journal article on mental health of veterans and in a 2015 book, but it's paywalled so I'm unable to tell if it's a passing mention or not. The coverage was international and did have quite a bit of commentary beyond run-of-the-mill "this happened" reporting, which is far more than most of these things get, so, eh?

Keep. Highly significant and heavily covered event. Easily meets
