7/ As we remembered and reported on the Virginia Beach shooting tragedy, @mechelleh collaborated with @GunsReporting to give a national audience a look at how Hampton Roads was mourning in a pandemic. gunsandamerica.org/story/20/05/27…

More transparency from police is being demanded, especially when deadly force is used. Cities are implementing new policies, requiring release of body-cam footage after officers shoot people or are accused of excessive force. @GunsReporting looks closer: ow.ly/xc6G50CgMZr

If you haven't listened to the 'Gun Play' podcast, you're missing out. It's made @NPR One's Editor's page. @Gimletmedia's senior producer is a fan. And so tens of thousands have already downloaded and shared! Don't miss this limited series presented by @keratx & @GunsReporting.

The role #guns play in American life is a complicated issue to focus an entire newsroom on, and coverage has only become more important since we began in 2018. Thank you for reading, listening, and learning with us. -30-

Though we probably won't publish anything else, the lights will be on for a little longer as we archive our work. In the meantime, we'll be sharing some of our favorite stories and experiences from the last two years.

For a deeper dive into what we know about #police shootings in the U.S., check out our @GunsReporting explainer gunsandamerica.org/story/20/08/06…

This study echoes similar findings from @HarvardChanSPH, which looked at fatal #police shootings from 2013 - 2017. Researchers found that Black people were more than 3X as likely to be killed by police than white people. hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-t…

A new study from @PennMedicine finds the rate of fatal #police shooting of unarmed Black people in the US over the last 5 years is more than 3X as high as white people. 🧵 dx.doi.org/10.1136/jech-2…
