1/6 — We published six stories this year that explored how children in America contend every day with gun violence. The first featured Tyshaun, a second-grader whose father was shot outside his D.C. school:

The second followed first-graders Ava, Karson, Siena and Collin, who were on a S.C. playground when a teen shot their friend Jacob. Those kids are among more than 135,000 who've experienced a school shooting since Columbine:

The third was about Latee, a Chicago teen who'd lost 10 people he knew to gunfire, none older than 22. After being shot at age 15, his only goal was to survive:

The fourth reconstructed the frantic effort at a Cleveland hospital to save 4-year-old Carter, one of nearly two dozen children shot every day in this country: wapo.st/2laX8l9

The fifth, in Las Vegas, showed how Natalia, Gianna, Shae, Delaney, Marie and Summer struggled to recover from the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history:

6/6 — The sixth examined what led a police officer to shoot Ruben, a 15-year-old in Virginia whose best friend, Jessica, had tried to help him overcome his unrelenting depression:
