Below is a catch-up of the significant events of this past week. You can check in with a minimal time commitment, read about the big stuff, and stay in the know before we’re on to the next. The amount of detailed news concerning the war in Ukraine is massive, and I will provide only the most critical news in this recap. If you are looking for more information, you might want to scroll through my Twitter feed for the week for more detail on any essential topics that I don’t mention here.

This Week in Gun Violence

There were six separate mass shooting incidents in the US in the last week, where four people were killed and 20 were injured. I will be documenting all mass shooting incidents for the week every Sunday, so please take a moment to review them and remember to keep up the fight for sensible gun restriction reform.
