(CNN)Six people found dead in a brick bungalow in Chicago's Gage Park neighborhood have been declared homicides, with one woman killed by gunshot and the others by blunt or sharp force, police said.

The bodies were found Thursday afternoon, and authorities on Friday were investigating how they were slain.

It appears police discovered a grisly scene: The bodies showed signs of trauma and were found in different places throughout the single-family home, interim police Superintendent John Escalante said.

One of the dead was a child, probably between 10 and 12 years old.

3. Remember our nation's shock at the Manson Murders. Yet this barely registers on the news.

Have we really become so callous? Is this now the new normal? Is it us or our media that finds something as shocking as this to be so mundane as to deserve practically zero coverage.

I remember being shocked and terrified at the Speck murders, the Tate murders, the 44 caliber killings, the Boston Strangler killings, but now something as horrific and inhuman as this and it's just another day in the USA.

What is going on here?

5. We have become that callous; it is "the new normal."

What level of atrocity would it take for someone like Truman Capote to get a "book deal" to write a non-fiction account of a multiple murder... now?

7. Manson's zombies murdered famous rich people.

That would STILL make headlines....
