Washington, D.C., December 6, 2023 – Multiple people have been injured in a shooting at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, according to police reports. Brady, the national gun violence organization, released the following statement:
Kris Brown, president of Brady, said:
"Just as our nation hit a devastating record for mass shootings this year, students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas – who have been subject to active shooter drills since childhood – will feel the ripple effects of today for the rest of their lives. We should not accept a reality where an entire generation of Americans are defined by the constant threat of gun violence.
“America’s children are being gunned down at an alarming rate, and firearms are now the number one cause of death for our kids. How many more of our children have to be shot or irrecoverably traumatized by gun violence before we alter America’s relationship with firearms?
“UNLV is just a stone's throw away from the site of the 2017 Las Vegas massacre, the deadliest mass shooting in American history. Our thoughts are with the students and the Las Vegas community, and we hope for the future of our country that change will come.”
Brady has one powerful mission — to unite all Americans against gun violence. We work across Congress, the courts, and our communities with over 90 grassroots chapters, bringing together young and old, red and blue, and every shade of color to find common ground in common sense. In the spirit of our namesakes Jim and Sarah Brady, we have fought for over 45 years to take action, not sides, and we will not stop until this epidemic ends. It’s in our hands.
