This is a tweet from a member of the Russian Parliament foreign relations committee in reaction to the shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C.

?A new shootout at Navy headquarters in Washington ? a lone gunman and 7 corpses. Nobody?s even surprised anymore,? tweeted Alexey Pushkov, a member of the Russian parliamentary foreign affairs committee.

?A clear confirmation of American exceptionalism,? he added.

From the United Nation's statistics for murder rates of countries:


Russia 10.2 per 100,000 people
USA 4.8 per 100,000 people
