It wasn't just three people getting shot, though, was it? It was three rich people who were given coverage and attention and people gave a damn about, unlike all the other murders that happen. Just like Thomas Wayne going on the TV and calling out people for not being rich. Gotham at that point was shown to be a powder keg, and while the killings didn't light it (the cops gun going off in the subway did), it certainly doused the powder keg in gasoline.
