Sounds like you're a raging psychopath, OP.

Hell yes.
Having been in the position of saying, "Holy fucking shit that's (person I know)" more than once, I feel relieved every time it's not.

that's a pretty normal reaction

I guess so, it's just that as soon as I realized that it wasn't anyone I knew, I felt relieved and happy. People are still dead, really young people, I was worried until I found out I didn't know them, and then I didn't really care. It was just like any other tragedy on TV. But this one's close to me. I didn't know them, but some of my friends did.

When my kid was 5, and all the kids we knew were about 5, this 5 year old kid got hit by a car & killed in our neighborhood & it was all over the news.
I was terrified that it was one of our boys for abput 2 hours.
Once I got a hold of everyone and verified that all the kids I knew were ok, I was so relieved, even though that other kid did die.
I felt a bit guilty, but it's natural, OP. Tribal instincts.
