In 19 98, no one had any idea of how to deal with a school shooting. We just didn't have the language for it,. Unfortunately, we're now so well versed in talking about these things but in 19 98 it was a very different story. There were certain things i remember. There was a church service in the community that i went to and there was the funeral. But you know, beyond that, i think everyone did their best. All the teachers and parents, you know, they had lived through something horrific too.
Vox’s Marin Cogan, who lived through a school shooting herself, explains why she hasn’t given up on a solution to our gun problem yet.
This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh and Victoria Chamberlin edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
