Congresswoman introduces bill to collect data on school shootings

5th District Congresswoman Jahana Hayes says gun violence prevention is a top concern for her, noting that in 2018 and 2019, there were 24 and 25 school shootings respectively.  Hayes has introduced the School Shooting Safety and Preparedness Act to provide the framework to obtain the data needed to be pro-active.  By analyzing the history of school shootings, Hayes says they can identify shooting and fatality statistics; shooter and victim demographics, shooter motivations; the firearms and ammunition acquired and used; and maintain a database.  She hopes this will help get to the core of why this phenomenon continues to occur.
