Standing behind President Obama, among others, is Lori Haas, whose “daughter, Emily, was shot and injured in the mass shooting at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007, in which 32 of her classmates and professors were murdered.” Lori now works to prevent future Virginia Techs, future Columbines, and future Newtowns, for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. She is a true hero.
