In this episode, Yale School of Public Health’s Dean, Dr. Megan Ranney, talks about what the data show and what can potentially be done to address gun violence and mass shootings.

In February, an armed shooter killed two and injured three others before turning the gun on themselves at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket. But prevention is about more than making legislation.
