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.

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.

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.

[Guns & America @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-

After 2 years and 500+ pieces of content, Guns & America is ending production. This collaboration would not have been possible without our partner stations—@WAMU885, @KBSX915, @KCUR, @KERANews, @KUNC, @OPB, @WABENews, @WCPN, @WUNC, @WNPR—reporting fellows, and @kendedafund. 🧵

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.

Hey @TexasStandard fans! I’m on the show today.

I’m talking about @keratx’s new podcast ‘Gun Play.’ @dazeandweex & I created it. The series follows @CryHavocTheater as they create a play about #guns, #gunviolence & #2ndAmendment rights.

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. 🧵

[Guns & America @GunsReporting]

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.
