Lexie.....I am so grateful for any attention or actions that are brought to this subject...of guns and domestic violence.....
You do important work.

You are right that workplace shootings are so terrifying. I have, personally, worked at two places where the woman was shot by a boyfriend and a husband....
The first one...I was on duty in the emergency room and was a part of the team in the futile attempt to revive her. She was shot in another section of that same hospital while at work.
Same thing happened in another hospital that I worked at...but, I wasn't on duty the night that it happened. The whole staff was shaken...as many knew her, personally. The boyfriend, had brought her food for her lunch break..and, then shot her when they were alone in the lunch room.....

It is one thing when you hear about these things...but, sooo different when it happens where you are and to people that you know.
It makes it a real thing......
