EMRA Statement on Mercy Hospital Mass Shooting

It is a tragedy that gun violence has become far too common in the fabric of our society. As emergency physicians, we’re at the front lines of saving lives and witnessing the heart-wrenching consequences of firearms firsthand: This is our lane. EMRA strongly believes that something must be done to curtail the number of casualties of reckless gun violence, and that is why we’re collaborating with other organizations and coalitions, such as AFFIRM, to study the health impact of firearm safety
