For instance, I read today about yet another chemical train wreck, it seems like shooting stories come in waves as well. Another example are celebrity deaths. Is this an actual phenomenon, or is it just heightened awareness?

Shootings happen all the time, theres just a more focussed lense whenever a particularly high profile one happens
This is also why when theres terrorism you can usually see quite a wave of it because for that brief time after a terrorist act… people just are quick to assume this other horrible thing is maybe terrorism too.
Thing is you could see this years back with ISIS too. Once the media was on a thing organisations such as ISIS would profit by immediately claiming it was them, practically ensuring their name was in the media for ages.
Which is also why during the height of BLM protests you’d see so much more coverage of violence against black people globally. It was just in the public lense more and got out of more local news more than usual.
