These people did not have to die

A makeshift memorial lists names of the 10 people killed in a mass shooting at Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, N.Y., on May 14.

From the Washington Post May 20th The Editorial Board

“We remember them.” Following those simple and somber words, President Biden read the names and recounted the lives of the 10 people gunned down May 14 at the Tops Friendly Market grocery store in Buffalo:

Celestine Chaney, 65, cancer survivor, churchgoer, bingo player; Roberta Drury, 32, beloved daughter and sister who moved home to help her brother fighting cancer; Andre Mackniel, 53, who stopped at Tops to buy his 3-year-old son a birthday cake; Katherine “Kat” Massey, 72, a writer and civil rights and education advocate; Margus D. Morrison, 52, school bus aide survived by his wife, three children and a stepdaughter; Heyward Patterson, 67, father and church deacon who fed the homeless and gave rides to neighbors; Aaron Salter Jr., 55, retired police officer who died trying to stop the gunman; Geraldine Talley, 62, expert baker and friend to everybody; Ruth Whitfield, 86, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who was caretaker of her husband; Pearl Young, 77, who ran the local food pantry and loved singing, dancing and her family.

Seven years ago, we commemorated some of the many lives that have been cut short in mass shootings in the United States. Sadly, the list, which we have updated and republished, was far from comprehensive. Even sadder — no, even more maddening — is that it has grown only longer. When terrible mass shootings have occurred in other nations, governments have responded with sensible gun control measures that have helped to prevent further tragedies. The lives lost in Buffalo — and all those before them — must be a spur to action.Columbine High School students, from left, Darcy Craig, Molly Byrne and Emily Dubin, stop to pay their respects at a memorial set up in a park near the high school in Littleton, Colo., in 1999.
