A deadly mass shooting at Brown University left two students dead and nine others injured on Saturday. One student, Mia Tretta, had survived a shooting in 2019 when she was shot in the stomach as a high school student. Her best friend was killed in the shooting, and she had selected Brown University for Rhode Island's strong gun control laws. Now she has survived yet another school shooting. "Physically and emotionally, a school shooting takes your whole life and flips it upside down," says Tretta, who criticizes politicians who refuse to enact meaningful gun reform. "We know that every single act of gun violence is 100% preventable."
