TY - JOUR T1 - Public health has role to play in preventing gun violence in America JF - The Nation's Health JO - Nations Health SP - 3 LP - 3 VL - 43 IS - 1 AU - Adewale Troutman Y1 - 2013/02/01 UR - http://www.thenationshealth.org/content/43/1/3.1.abstract N2 - The pain and anguish over the December murders of dozens of innocent people — primarily young children in their elementary school classrooms — in Newtown, Conn., still lingers. Inconceivable, unimaginable and impossible are but a few words that manage to climb their way into consciousness. We will never know what caused the killer to unleash hell’s fury through the barrel of a gun. We do know that the lights of the victims are forever darkened. We will never know what their lives could have been. ER -
