Ten years ago, a 22-year-old murdered six college students in a suicidal rampage near Santa Barbara, California. Those students were Weihan Wang, Cheng Hong, George Chen, Katherine Cooper, Veronika Weiss, and Christopher Martinez. Many others were injured and traumatized in the attack. It was a horrific event that has, in some ways, been poorly understood by the public ever since. Friends sometimes ask me how I could spend so much time researching and reporting on mass shootings, as I’ve done for more than a decade.
