Another school shooting occurred in Georgia in the beginning of September. As a father, a pediatric emergency room doctor and the CEO of Children’s Minnesota, each one of these tragedies is deeply personal.
I recently sat down with KARE 11 to reiterate: Gun violence is a public health crisis and it’s time people act. It’s heartbreaking that it takes another tragic event to bring more eyes to this cause, but I’m grateful I was able to share some thoughts on this topic.
