A survey from the American Psychological Association found that a third of American adults say fear of a mass shooting prevents them from going to some public places or events.
"I think we are seeing part of our population continue to have elevated fear that may interfere with everyday functioning," said Dr. Fletcher.
Dr. Susan Fletcher is a licensed psychologist who participated in Governor Greg Abbott's roundtable discussions following the mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart in 2019. We asked her if she thinks Americans are becoming desensitized to mass shootings. "I think what we're more likely to see is that we will all have the continued response of fear and compassion related to shootings," said Dr. Fletcher."What I'm concerned about is that as time goes on, we'll have that initial concern and fear and that it might go away and I hope that that wouldn't happen, not because I want people to walk around being afraid, because we need to be able to address the fear that we feel and come up with solutions to manage that fear.
