Remembering and honoring victims of mass shootings

After the tragic back-to-back mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, people are making sure their loved ones and communities aren’t forgotten.
” We tried to save him, ” said Holly Redman, a woman who tried to save Dayton shooting victim. ” I just want his parents to know that we did everything possible to save him. ”

The two communities that lost more than 30 lives total are creating ideas to honor the victims, as well as the many injured.

A sixth-grader from El Paso named Ruben Martinez started the # ElPasoChallenge , a social media movement encouraging each person in his city to do 22 acts of kindness and post them online.
In addition, organizers of a gun show in Ohio announced they would cancel the event out of respect.

These are only some of the many ways the country is trying to restore hope after tragedy.
