A shooting at Stewartville High School in Minnesota left one student injured and the suspect dead, prompting a heartfelt response from Michigan basketball player Will Tschetter, an alumnus of the school. Tschetter, a fifth-year senior forward, addressed the incident after playing in Michigan's win over Maryland. He described the event as a sad reality of gun violence that hits deeply when it affects those close to home.
Gracie Abrams, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, and Aaron Dessner have released the charity single 'Sold Out' to support Everytown, a gun violence prevention organization. Recorded last year in response to a school shooting, the song's release coincides with the recent tragedy at Brown University. Proceeds will benefit efforts to reduce gun violence in the United States.

After the 2023 Covenant School shooting by a transgender-identifying assailant, Tennessee Democrat Aftyn Behn said the backlash made her fearful for transgender communities and helped spur her political ambitions. Behn, now a congressional candidate, has described the period as deeply upsetting for her family and for trans organizers, and says it motivated her to fight for greater protections for transgender people.
