When news broke of the Minneapolis shooter who opened fire on children attending mass at a Catholic school, news media carried the same photo of the suspect’s mother, no mention of a husband or father. It was a dead giveaway — “Robin” Westman’s parents were divorced. This important fact was only casually mentioned by a handful of media, days later.
To date, 434 school shootings have occurred since Columbine, resulting in 218 deaths, 510 injuries, and 397,000 children experiencing gun violence at school.
