Stop looking for a single answer.

“Equally fatal to the effort to stop active shooters and other targeted violence is a focus on a single solution. We are the meme, Post-it, sound-bite kind of world right now, and messages must fit into 280 characters. Not helping is the persistent view that there must be a single solution such as: Take away the guns… arm teachers and security at houses of worship… find more good guys with guns…

A single answer doesn’t work because there isn’t a single reason why these shootings continue to be on the rise. Complex challenges rarely have a single solution.”
