“It will forever change their lives, and it's tragic when we have victims of this type of violence, and it's equally tragic that people are going to throw away their lives when they engage in this type of conduct,” O’Malley said. “Partly due to the sheer access and availability of guns,” Flannery said. “People being out of school for long periods of time and not having access to out-of-school programs and connections to other support services.”“We should not have more funerals than graduations, that we need to have more people feeling safe to thrive and to live in our communities,” Watkins said.
“The young people are exhausted. They're tired of burying their friends. They're dealing with stress and grief in a way that nobody understands,” Watkins said.“So, the things that tend to work are the collaborative, long-term efforts between members of the community,” Flannery said.“Makes me very sad,” Martin said. “Reach out to your sons and daughters before they make that decision.
