TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Addressing mass shootings in a new light JO - Curēus A1 - Ahmad, Manal A1 - Mekala, Hema A1 - Lone, Judith A1 - Robinson, Karlyle A1 - Shah, Kaushal SP - e9298 EP - e9298 VL - 12 IS - 7 N2 - Locations change, casualties change, but the choice of weapon remains the same: firearms. With mass shootings gaining continuous limelight, we aim through this article to provide the readers an overview of the perpetrator's profile, along with various opinions proposed by the media, government, National Rifle Association (NRA), and health professionals. With mental health linked as a common factor for such incidents, we need to explore the different stances to eliminate such events. This article also provides a collaborative approach to alter the narrative and view it in a new light.
