After two children were killed in a school shooting, Minnesota lawmakers formed a bipartisan group to find common ground on gun violence prevention. Two meetings in, they're already at a standstill, split between seeing guns as a crisis or a culture. My latest for @thetrace.org

It's projects like this that make me proud to be part of @thetrace.org. I'm from Brownsville, and I don't think I've ever seen it captured this way in any other news outlet.

@thetrace.org updated its Atlas of American Gun Violence, a detailed, searchable map showing where and when shootings happen across the U.S. An essential tool.

Today, we're debuting a new feature on @thetrace.org called 92 Days in Gun Violence. It's a quarterly update. The big finding thru Q3 is that have been fewer shooting deaths in 2025 than any year in a decade. Plus more on gun sales, our work, and recent research: www.thetrace.org/2025/10/shoo...

Gun dealers talk to @champebarton.bsky.social about the drop in demand, what drives sales, and the state of the industry. Some dealers are seeing folks who bought during the pandemic sales surge now seeking to sell their guns. www.thetrace.org/2025/10/gun-...

1/My latest story, part 4 of our series “The Secret Files of the Gun Industry,” begins in in 2016, when the country’s best-known suicide prevention group teamed up with the gun industry to tackle the biggest form of gun death + help reduce suicide 20% by 2025 www.thetrace.org/2025/10/gun-...

Powerful story from @wyofile.com on gun suicides in the 70+ population in Wyoming, the state with the highest rate in the entire country. @andrewgraham88.bsky.social got responses from Gov. Mark Gordon and legislative leaders wyofile.com/older-wyomin...

Sunday's church attack in Michigan was at least the 20th high-profile shooting at a U.S. house of worship over the past two decades. Collectively, these shootings left at least 92 dead and 100 wounded.

Sobering story from @themainemonitor.org on the high rates of gun suicides among older Mainers. They're the first newsroom to use a new Gun Violence Data Hub dataset to localize a story on this subject. themainemonitor.org/maine-suicid...

We've posted the data behind this story — on the alarming prevalence of gun suicides among older Americans — on the Gun Violence Data Hub. That includes county- and state-level data that journalists can use to investigate how this issue affects their communities datahub.thetrace.org/dataset/gun-...

Older Americans have the highest rates of gun suicide of any age group. Not by a little — by a lot. Why? I spent months exploring this question through data, field reporting, and interviews with experts. Our story is up today on @thetrace.org www.thetrace.org/2025/09/gun-...

Public health experts say framing gun violence solely as an “urban” issue ignores rising rates in rural communities, especially suicides, and risks sidelining proven solutions. @fairrionam.bsky.social digs into this in her latest piece for @thetrace.org

As people once again think about gun reforms in the wake of the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting, I hope you’ll read my latest story, which is based on gun industry documents and pubbed in partnership with @thetrace.org and @rollingstone.com www.thetrace.org/2025/08/gun-...
