We cover these traumatic and trigger mass shootings and then the cycle restarts, it's likely taxing for the public to digest it.
“if they’re feeling like anything that I’m feeling, they’re [the public] exhausted by this,” said Daniel Flannery with Case Western Reserve University. “This is nauseatingly exhausting to experience these things over and over and over and the conversation is still the same.”
“I think whole communities are impacted by this, not just individuals that are directly involved or first responders that arrived at the scene, we learned this from Connecticut and Colorado,” said Flannery. Though there is very little research surrounding the mental impact of mass shootings on the general public, experts say PTSD and nightmares could be a side effect.
For children who nowadays must go through active shooter training, experts say watching this happen at another school doesn’t help them either and parents should remember that.
