This morning we woke up to the devastating news of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. A lone gunman opened fire from an upper floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, killing at least 58 people and injuring hundreds of others. News broadcasts captured people leaving the scene covered in blood and in states of shock. All of our hearts go out to the direct victims and their families as well as those whose lives were threatened. They will have to cope with the long-term psychological aftereffects of terror and shock. The legacy of trauma created by this event has wide ripples. Even watching the event on television or hearing about it can take us out of the apparent normalcy of our lives - shattering our assumptions about living in a safe world.
