Abundant Life Christian School Shooting: Interview on WORT in Madison, WI

We discuss how the most recent school shooting aligns with the data and patterns in planned attacks back to the 1960s, and how this information can prevent the next tragedy.

David Riedman, founder of the K-12 School Shooting Database, joins WORT 89.9fm (Madison, WI) afternoon radio show A Public Affair hosted by Sara Gabler.

This interviews follows the December 16th school shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. Riedman joins Gabler to discuss this shooting in context of the 323 school shootings that have happened so far this year. They unpack what the data tells us about these tragedies, the importance of recognizing warning signs, and policies needed to prevent future school shootings.
