Show Notes
Travis and Rob Young, one of the first school shooting victims of the 1986 Cleveland Elementary School Massacre, dive deep into the ever-tough topic of mass shootings, an occurrence becoming all too common around the world, even more so in the United States.
As one of the first school shooting victims, now turned school resource officer (SRO), Rob offers his unique perspective and insight on the deep-rooted issue. He also proposes pathways and solutions to begin uprooting the problem sooner than later in order to minimize the threat to society that nearly claimed his life over three decades ago.
Reflecting back on Jan. 17, 1986, Rob shares his story about the incredible physical and emotional trauma inflicted upon him as the tragic events began to unfold that morning. He was just a 6-year-old, first-grade student at Cleveland Elementary School when a lone gunman entered the school’s playground and opened fire, killing five children and injuring 30 others with an AK-47.
