I covered my first school shooting in 2001. First reporter there, I talked to a student the shooter let live, and the mother of one of the dead. Covered my second 17 days later. That was 21 years ago. Every one guts me. Thank you for your words, @ebruenig. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
In 2018 in a new role as editor of @sdutOpinion, as a parent whose oldest had told my wife that she feared she would be the first victim in a school shooting because her desk was by the door, we wrote a six-word editorial. Zoom in. See the names. The ages. Read my column on why. 
Here is that column. The pain of these words: sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/editor…
“13 people were killed at Columbine High School. At the time, it was the deadliest high school shooting — and one of the worst mass shootings — in modern U.S. history.
Now it’s not even one of the 10 worst.”

Gun violence has stolen countless lives and traumatized millions more, so the language we use when talking about it is important.

First off: It’s important to keep survivors in mind when talking about gun violence. A survivor is anyone who has personally experienced gun violence, whether they witnessed it, were threatened or wounded with a gun, or had a loved one taken or wounded with a gun.
Avoid naming or sharing photos of shooters: Don’t give shooters the notoriety they may want. Instead, focus on the victims and survivors of shootings. #NoNotoriety

You're doing this wrong, @Reuters. Instead of spreading a photo of the gunman on social media, use a photo of the heroic victim who died saving his classmates—who is in fact the subject of your headline motherjones.com/politics/2015/… #NoNotoriety
It’s worth noting that Reuters account has *20 million* followers. The media has made some progress on this problem recently, but still has a ways to go. Here’s why it’s worthwhile for news outlets to avoid certain ways of highlighting mass shooters npr.org/2019/03/20/705…
Why is it important for the media to change how we cover mass shooters? A prime reason is the proliferation of the so-called copycat problem—including the ‘Columbine effect,’ which just spawned another traumatic case in Colorado in mid April motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
