Mass shootings almost always result in murders, but I have also come to think of them as...
RELATED:At the time of the Tucson tragedy, as a pall smothered a vibrant January blue sky and memorials popped up across the city, I often heard people wonder if the shooting would somehow define the community. I would also hear people say they never expected such violence. Not in Tucson. At least not on the community’s more affluent North Side . Not at a grocery store named Safeway. I’ve read similar comments about other massacres.
With the gift of time, I eventually could see the shooting would never define Tucson. Not because it wasn’t a defining tragedy. It was very much so. A remarkable young congresswoman had been shot, a child had been among those murdered. But it never defined Tucson partly because a community is always bigger than a horrific tragedy — there is stillin this world. And partly because the mass shootings continued in so many other communities: Aurora, Colo.
indicted Attorney General Ken Paxton made after Uvalde. He called for arming and training more “law-abiding citizens” to prepare for other mass shootings “because it’s not going to be the last time.”
