Realize that your reactions are because of PTSD. I won't say you are "over reacting" because it is truly a tragedy. I do know that PTSD causes overly strong feelings about such events, feelings that don't do the person any good, and indeed can be detrimental.
Tell yourself it's the PTSD. That yes, you care, you probably have regrets of some kind like any good neighbor would, and yes, you may have feelings of sadness... but the way it's affecting you so strongly is the PTSD. It's upset something inside, triggered your feelings of safety perhaps...
