If only it were that easy.
More than 20 years after the shootings at Colorado’s Columbine High School, some of the students wounded that day are still undergoing surgeries to repair the damage and living with ongoing physical challenges. Several years ago, The Post reported on a woman whose daughters talked her into going to a country music show that was the site of an attack in Las Vegas. She was so badly wounded that she could have major health issues for the rest of her life. I’m sure there are many more stories like this.
Articles about past mass shootings properly emphasize the number of deaths, but the number of those wounded is rarely mentioned. Just because people are “only” wounded doesn’t mean they are okay. We should never lose sight of this.
