An awful, devastating loss. @melissahortman.bsky.social
was a thoughtful leader and exemplary public servant in so many ways. She carried the weight of political responsibility with grace, humility, and good humor — and it appears to have cost her her life.

Our study on "The Globalization of American Mass Shootings" (with @jasonrsilva.bsky.social) is referenced in this Reuters article.
Hope the U.S. mass shooting problem is not being "exported," but it certainly looks that way.

It’s good to see that following the tragic school shooting in Austria, there’s been almost no media coverage (so far) that uses his name or photo.
For journalists, it’s easy to still cover the important news aspects & much less likely to inspire fame-seekers or copycats.
We could do that too.
