Abstract

This article discusses how hospitals in Jonesboro, AR, and Denver, CO, met the challenge of dealing with school shooting rampages that resulted in multiple casualties and received widespread media coverage. Hospitals need to be well-prepared to implement their emergency disaster plans and handle the physical and emotional trauma of such incidents which, according to a well-known criminologist, may become more frequent.
