These violent tragedies are a sobering reminder of how quickly life can change: unfortunately, mass shootings are nothing new, although sometimes it may seem as though there is a new incident every other week. While there is nothing to excuse the acts of a few lone gunmen, we can take some solace in the fact that these tragedies have helped law enforcement deal with future incidents.
