STILL of Zaire GoodmanASSOCIATED PRESSBuffalo, New York - 27 January 202335. Wide of chalkboard in Everhart's kitchen "Word of the day: Grateful"STORYLINE:Increasingly it feels like America is at war with itself.In New Orleans, just days into the new year, a 14-year-old girl was shot to death, along with her father and uncle. A few days after, in a Virginia classroom, a six-year-old boy pulled out a gun and shot his first-grade teacher. That news was eclipsed by a mass shooting at a California dance studio last weekend that left 11 people dead. A day later and a few hundred miles away, a farmworker opened fire in a beachside town, killing seven coworkers. Three more were killed and four wounded in a shooting at a short-term rental home in an an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood early Saturday.But if all that makes you think America has gone numb to gun violence, Zeneta Everhart would disagree. Fiercely. Everhart's then-19-year-old son, Zaire, was working his part-time job at a Buffalo supermarket last May when a gunman stormed in, looking for Black people to kill. Ten died in the attack. Zaire was shot in the neck but survived. "I am hopeful," she said in an interview in her Buffalo home a mile from the Tops store. "Don't be numb to this. This should hurt you. You should feel something when you see a news report. For me,  just this past week, when I saw what happened in California, I had to turn my television off for a minute. And here we are again. Here we are again."But that makes Everhart and others even more determined to find ways to stem the violence.The month after the supermarket shooting, she and other victims' relatives went to Washington, D.C., testifying before a House committee about the need for gun safety legislation. Two weeks later, Biden signed the gun violence bill.That success, and her son's continuing recovery, keep her energized.  But in a country where attitudes about guns and violence are often contradictory, charting a course of action makes for uneasy calculus.Overall, 71% of Americans say gun laws should be stricter, according to a 2022 poll by the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. But in the same poll, 52% said it is also highly important to protect Americans' right to own guns for personal safety.  Last year's gun violence law was designed to incrementally toughen requirements for young people to buy guns, deny firearms to more domestic abusers and help local authorities temporarily take weapons from people judged to be dangerous. Most of its $13 billion (USD) cost would go to bolster mental health programs and for schools.This year, though, the number of shooting deaths are already deeply discouraging.The nation's first mass shooting last year happened on Jan 23. By the same date this year, the nation had already endured six mass shootings, leaving 39 people dead, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University. It tracks every attack in the U.S. that has claimed at least four lives, not including the shooter's, since 2006."I think the real danger of the period we're in right now because of the frequency of the mass shootings is that they start to get normalized," said Pedro Noguera, the dean of the school of education at the University of Southern California and a sociologist who has studied gun violence for more than two decades.Eight months after the Buffalo supermarket attack, doctors have been unable so far to remove all the bullet fragments lodged inside the body of Everhart's son, some of them dangerously close to vital organs. But his survival motivates her to keeping pushing government for change, and she urges others not to give up fighting when they hear about yet another shooting."I have to do this, right? Someone has to go out there and talk about this and what happened and tell Zaire's story and make sure people don't forget," she said.AP Video shot by Robert BumstedProduced by Robert Bumsted===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
