I spent my spring break right after the shooting at Great Mills sick to my stomach 24/7 and barley sleeping because I heard my friends screaming and running every time I closed my eyes. Don’t wait until it happens to you. #YOUniversallyTriggered

In 1993, I was talking with a young woman who fled a literal civil war in Lebanon. She told me the streets of D.C. were worse than Beirut. The gun violence in D.C. was portrayed as a war zone on Married: With Children. Gun violence is all too familiar. #YOUniversallyTriggered

From our schools to our streets gun violence is a universal problem. Gun violence does not only exist in our hallways. Together we are #YOUniversallyTriggered

#YOUniversallyTriggered in my 20 years as a Paramedic I responded to many gunshot injuries. Even the most minor caused great emotional trauma. I have seen kids shot by kids. Adults shot by adults, and self inflicted wounds. All are horrible for all involved!

I will hijack this hashtag to offer the alternative: i do not know a single person that has been the victim in whatever way of gun violence. Love to my American friends all the way from southern Germany 🇩🇪❤ #YOUniversallyTriggered

A friend of mine took his own life with a gun. We were not warned his memorial service would include a gun salute. Unexpected, close gun fire was probably the worst thing we could have heard when gathered to remember our friend. #YOUniversallyTriggered

One of the elementary schools in my district had a shooting when I was in 5th grade. We are now seniors, and the survivors feel like they shouldn’t be affected by it because compared to other shootings “it wasn’t that bad.” Gun culture is too ingrained. #YOUniversallyTriggered

I passed by some construction workers and heard the machines make a sound like a gunshot. I just keep thinking if that was the last thing my friends ever heard #YOUniversallyTriggered

My friend was nearly shot in her sleep because her drunk neighbors in the townhouse next to hers were showing off their loaded gun. Because of loose gun laws, I could be without one of my best friends. It missed her, but if it were a couple of inches up... #YOUniversallyTriggered

Boyfriend held a loaded handgun to the side of my head, screaming at me, in a grocery store parking lot.
He was so full of anger and rage.
I was 17.

I have near-daily attacks from the fear of a shooting. One day they announced there was “an upset student in the halls” during my second period and I almost burst into tears right then and there. Going to school makes me sick to my stomach. #YouniversallyTriggered
