TY - JOUR T1 - SIlencing the science on gun research AU - Kellermann AL, Rivara FP Y1 - 2013/02/13 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2012.208207 JO - JAMA SP - 549 EP - 550 VL - 309 IS - 6 N2 - In body count, this incident in Newtown ranks second among US mass shootings. It follows recent mass shootings in a shopping mall in Oregon, a movie theater in Colorado, a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, and a business in Minnesota. These join a growing list of mass killings in such varied places as a high school, a college campus, a congressional constituent meeting, a day trader's offices, and a military base. But because this time the killer's target was an elementary school, and many of his victims were young children, this incident shook a nation some thought was inured to gun violence.
