Gun Violence Has Changed Us

We grieve with the survivors, family members of victims and the entire community of Nashville, Tennessee, in the wake of Monday’s mass shooting at The Covenant School.

Just one day before the shooting, The New York Times published this interactive article about how gun violence has affected people’s everyday lives. Guns are now the No. 1 cause of death among U.S. teens and children — a harrowing fact.

The Times asked more than 600 readers how the threat of gun violence affected their lives. We encourage you to read through each and every response published.

If you or someone you know is in need of help or resources during this difficult time, please visit victimconnect.org.
