A new chilling PSA has recently came out from the group Sandy Hook Promise.  After the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting back in 2012, many parents of victims came together and created the Sandy Hook Promise group, vowing to help “prevent gun-related deaths due to crime, suicide and accidental discharge so that no other parent experiences the senseless, horrific loss of their child”.  

While recently releasing a gun violence PSA that shocked many, detailing the sometimes overlooked gun violence warning signs, on Friday, December 3. The video shows a teen at a high school, going through his life while writing messages on a desk, that by the end of the video we find out he was chatting with a girl, but when they finally meet a fellow classmate(and school shooter) comes in behind them.  Many didn’t notice the teen in the background displaying possible warning signs to gun violence(unless you paid very close attention to the video).  Overall the video displayed that this could happen in any high school and that there are warning signs to gun violence everyone should be aware of.

While everyone is entitled to their own opinion about gun violence, school shootings and everything under that umbrella of topics, this PSA was definitely clear and opened many people’s’ eyes about possible warning signs to gun violence and school shootings.
