#SinceParkland, at least 1,200 kids and teens across the U.S. have died by gun—in homicides, domestic violence, and accidental shootings.
The Trace and @MiamiHerald worked with 200+ student journalists to tell their stories. sinceparkland.org

They include the 14 students fatally shot at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida:
As well as three other people 18 and younger who lost their lives to guns in separate incidents that day:
Christian Robinson, 14
Matthew Ortega, 17
David Williams, 18

I'm the lead researcher on a project we just launched at @teamtrace called #SinceParkland, where student journalists across the U.S. wrote profiles of their peers who died by gun since the Stoneman Douglas shooting.
Compiling the data was painstaking. sinceparkland.org
Compiling the data was painstaking. sinceparkland.org
Every day for 8 months I consulted @GunDeaths and searched for people 18 and younger who were fatally shot. We used 18 as the cutoff age because Meadow Pollack, who died in Parkland, was 18. gunviolencearchive.org
I amassed the shootings in an Excel spreadsheet. To date, it's up to 1,222 rows — and climbing, because we're still compiling victims until the 1-year anniversary of the Parkland massacre, which is Thursday.
After the shooting of 14 students and three adults at a Florida high school by a former student, parents and students rallied to say: Never again. But #SinceParkland, nearly 1,200 young lives have been taken by gunfire in the U.S. miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…
That means that #SinceParkland, the United States have had enough young gun victims to fill three ultra-wide Boeing 777s, and the true number is certainly higher because no government agency keeps a real-time tally. miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…
.@teamtrace wanted to acknowledge those lost lives. It assembled a team of more than 200 journalists — kids themselves — to research and write short portraits of every victim, 18 and under, for that 365-day period. sinceparkland.org #SinceParkland
