Coloradans Respond to Gun Violence
by PBSNewsHour 1,849 views
The movie theater shooting in Aurora Colorado in July of 2012, combined with the massacre at the Connecticut elementary school in December, have spurred lawmakers in Colorado to push for an array of gun legislation, which supporters believe could prevent future violence. The PBS NewsHour spoke to a number of people who are on the front lines of that debate, including Daniel Oates, the Police Chief of Aurora; Dave Hoover, whose nephew was killed at the Aurora theater; Damien Garcia, a gun owner who is worried about future restrictions; and Ron Blan, a former gang member who now works for the city of Aurora on a gang prevention task force, among others.

http://to.pbs.org/UTxCxL Coming February 19, 2013. In the wake of the mass killings at Sandy Hook, FRONTLINE looks for answers to the elusive question: who was Adam Lanza?
In the wake of the mass killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, FRONTLINE investigates a young man and the town he changed forever. Adam Lanza left behind a trail of death and destruction, but little else. He left no known friends, no diary. He destroyed his computer and any evidence it might have provided. His motives, and his life, remain largely a mystery. In collaboration with The Hartford Courant, FRONTLINE looks for answers to the central—and so far elusive—question: who was Adam Lanza? Also this hour: In the aftermath of the tragedy, President Obama called for a national conversation about guns in America. Nowhere is that conversation more intense than in Newtown, where FRONTLINE finds a town divided and explores how those closest to the tragedy are now wrestling with our nation's gun culture and laws.

The Path to Violence (excerpt)
by PBS 1,810 views
Watch the full-length episode at http://video.pbs.org/video/2336803730 (US Only)
Premieres Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Ever since the wake-up call that was Columbine, schools and law enforcement have developed multiple strategies to prevent attacks. Indeed, the horror of Newtown must be seen in a context that's not defined by defeat.
More than 120 school assaults have been thwarted in the past ten years. And remarkably, while security hardware and physical barriers can play a deterrent role, it's been psychologists — working hand in hand with law enforcement officers — who have come up with the most helpful tools to prevent violent attacks.
The Path to Violence tells the story of a powerfully effective Secret Service program — the Safe School Initiative — that's helped schools detect problem behavior in advance.
But despite the progress made, recent attacks have revealed a gaping hole in our safety net. Adam Lanza, Jared Loughner and allegedly James Holmes all executed their attacks after they'd left their respective schools. Here parents may be the only line of defense — parents who are terrified of their own children.
Can the hard-won gains made by psychologists and law enforcement be extended to the families of some of the nation's most violent individuals? Is the country ready to have a national conversation about the balance between safety and civil liberties that such interventions would require? -
