School shootings aren’t inevitable—they can be, and should be prevented with secure gun storage.

4-year-old child shot twice in Tulare, teen suspects in custody, police say The Tulare Police Department is investigating a shooting that happened Friday evening on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and U Street.

A four year old is recovering in the hospital from being shot twice by a group of teenagers.

Our children deserve to play in their front yards without the threat of gun violence around every corner.

Florida bill to arm college professors, staff faces opposition Florida students and faculty oppose a bill allowing college professors to carry concealed weapons on campus, citing safety concerns.

"We are the ones who will have to walk around campus every day wondering which staff member is armed and if a split-second decision will turn our hallways into the Wild West. This bill doesn't make us safer." - De'jah Charles, a Florida @studentsdemandaction.org leader

6-year-old fatally shot in the head with unsecured gun on Detroit's east side Fitzgerald said it is unclear that another sibling inside the vehicle shot the other, "We're still working through it."

A six-year-old will never get to grow up after being shot in the head with an unsecured gun.

Our children are dying from these preventable tragedies. We must do more.

Husband Fatally Shot Wife at Hospital After She'd Just Given Birth, Then Turned Gun on Himself The husband and wife were reportedly identified as Kynath William Terry Jr. and Precious Johnson.

Twenty-four-year-old Precious Johnson was shot and killed by her husband shortly after giving birth. He then turned the gun on himself, leaving their newborn an orphan.

Keeping guns out of the hands of domestic abusers saves the lives of women and children.

The majority of Americans—Democrats, Republicans, gun owners, and non-gun owners agree on what we need to be safe. The only ones standing in the way?

Politicians who are too cowardly to act.

Tennessee has a law that is meant to remove guns from domestic abusers—but there’s a dangerous loophole that prevents it from being implemented.

California has one of the lowest rates of gun deaths in the country, but emerging technology like 3D-printed firearms make it too easy to bypass the state’s strong gun laws.

At least two people were shot and killed and 14 others were shot and wounded late last night at a bar in Austin, TX. Around the same time, nine people were shot and wounded at a music venue in Cincinnati, OH.

We don’t have to live like this. We all deserve to feel safe while enjoying a night out.

Happy Women’s History Month! This March, we honor the women who create, who lead, who nurture, who innovate, and who refuse to accept injustice.

Teen girl fatally shot in Hammond by 18-year-old who was playing with a gun, officials say Hammond police said the investigation is ongoing and in its early stages.

When guns aren’t securely stored, tragedy can strike.

My heart breaks for the family of the fourteen-year-old girl who will never get to grow up.

In 2020, Marsha Burrell-Green’s life was forever changed when her son, Lee A. Williams, was shot and killed. In the face of unimaginable loss, Marsha chose to turn her grief into action—volunteering with our New Jersey chapter and founding a local gun violence prevention coalition in Salem.

Martin Short's daughter Katherine dies at 42 Martin Short's family "is devastated by this loss and asks for privacy at this time" following the death of his daughter, Katherine Hartley Short.

26,000—that’s how many people die by gun suicide every year because a gun leaves no room for a second chance.

My thoughts are with the Short family as they grieve the loss of their daughter, Katherine.

This horrific tragedy was enabled in part by Florida’s Shoot First law, which disproportionately affects Black people and fosters a culture of armed vigilantism. My thoughts are with Trayvon's family and friends today as they continue to grieve another year without him.

Fourteen years ago, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by an armed vigilante while walking home from a Florida convenience store—sparking a movement for Black Lives that still drives us today.
