Giving Compass' Take:

• Mass shootings often result in a particularly difficult kind of grief known as traumatic grief and, as The Atlantic reports, the death by suicide of someone connected to a school shooting is, unfortunately, a familiar storyline.

• Some 28 percent of people who survive mass shootings in the United States develop post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the National Center for PTSD at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. How can donors help support and reduce this number?

• Learn about the social consequences of mass gun violence. 

Over a period of just 10 days this month, three people directly affected by school shootings committed suicide.

Two were survivors of the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida; the third was the father of a first grader killed in the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Sydney Aiello was 19 and a student at Florida Atlantic University, and she was a close friend of Meadow Pollack, who died in the Stoneman Douglas massacre. The identity of the other Stoneman Douglas student, reported to be a sophomore boy, has not been released. Jeremy Richman, 49, was a neuropharmacologist.
