Survivors if today’s shooting and those who have survived or been impacted by other shootings need to know what shock symptoms look like. Seek professional help if you need to.
If you think passing tough effective gun laws is hard, try picking out your child’s tombstone.
That’s much, much harder but something Americans are forced to do every day because of guns.
We know because that’s what we had to do.

Always for Jessi.

They're keeping shelter in place all night long in Providence, and I haven't heard any plan for how they're going to help the students stuck in buildings or the library basement without food, water, a place to sleep, etc. Not even a mention. That's bothering me a lot. #BrownShooting

Just watched an interview with a young woman that fled the shooting rampage at Brown University today. She was traumatized. She was also a student at the Mass Shooting that occurred at Marjorie Stoneman High in Florida back in 2018. That killed 17 people, and injured more.
