Gunshots fired through the glass doors of the Annapolis-based Capital Gazette newspaper last week resonated far and wide. The tragic shooting left five people dead, two more injured, and communities shaken to the core. No-one is immune to random acts of violence. The shooting at the Maryland newspaper marked the 154th mass shooting in the US this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more victims, not including the perpetrator, are “shot and/or killed” at “the same general time and location.”
