Inside the Hidden Lives of Children Caught in America’s Gun Violence Epidemic
That could happen? And at a school of all places?
I remember two things most clearly from the aftermath. The Christian martyrdom that rose from evangelicals weaponizing student Cassie Bernall’s death, and how the shooting reshaped who people believed were perpetrators of gun violence. It wasn’t just Black people in crime-riddled neighborhoods. It was also disaffected young white men wearing trench coats.
Who carries the blame for gun violence (and its history) is far more complicated. Journalist Camila Kerwin dissects these complications in her debut nonfiction graphic narrative Soft Targets: Guns in America and the Kids Caught in the Crossfire (Street Noise Books; Oct. 2026).
