More transparency from police is being demanded, especially when deadly force is used. Cities are implementing new policies, requiring release of body-cam footage after officers shoot people or are accused of excessive force. @GunsReporting looks closer: ow.ly/xc6G50CgMZr

If you haven't listened to the 'Gun Play' podcast, you're missing out. It's made @NPR One's Editor's page. @Gimletmedia's senior producer is a fan. And so tens of thousands have already downloaded and shared! Don't miss this limited series presented by @keratx & @GunsReporting.

During the deadliest year for school shootings, teen actors from Dallas set out on a cross-country trip to create an original play about some of our deep divisions over #2ndAmendment rights. Their journey is documented in this podcast. Nice job @hadysauce open.spotify.com/show/481ThJ…

Though we probably won't publish anything else, the lights will be on for a little longer as we archive our work. In the meantime, we'll be sharing some of our favorite stories and experiences from the last two years.

The role #guns play in American life is a complicated issue to focus an entire newsroom on, and coverage has only become more important since we began in 2018. Thank you for reading, listening, and learning with us. -30-

This study echoes similar findings from @HarvardChanSPH, which looked at fatal #police shootings from 2013 - 2017. Researchers found that Black people were more than 3X as likely to be killed by police than white people. hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-i…
