Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Chicagoans React To Texas School Shooting And A Decade Of Failed Gun Legislation

A gunman killed 19 children and two teachers Tuesday at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, a small city west of San Antonio. The 18-year-old shooter was a student at the local high school and was killed by law enforcement. Parents and children alike are struggling to manage their stress and fears in the wake of the massacre. Reset gets the latest from a reporter on the ground in San Antonio, takes time to hear from Chicagoans in that aftermath, and a doctor offers some mental health advice to help them cope. We also dig into why there has been so little movement on gun legislation since Sandy Hook in 2012. For more Reset interviews, subscribe to this podcast.

The Daily Signal - 4 Steps Every School Can Take to Help Prevent Shootings

There are four steps schools can take to prevent tragedies like the one in Uvalde, Texas, Steven Bucci, a Heritage Foundation visiting fellow, says. “[I]t doesn’t have to be like this,” Bucci says. “We can mitigate the risk of these kind of things happening. I won’t say that any system is perfect and is going to stop every tragic incident, but boy, we could do a better job at it than we’re doing.” 

Americans across the nation are mourning with the people of Texas and all the families who lost loved ones in the shooting at Robb Elementary School. 


Two teachers and 19 students were killed by a gunman, leaving Americans to ask, how can we ensure a tragedy like this never happens again? 


Bucci served our country for three decades as an Army Special Forces officer and top Pentagon official, and has served on the front lines of a number of tragedies. He joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss four practical steps every school can take to prevent shootings, and minimize casualties if one does occur.
