May 25, 2022 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.
