| Summary: | A report on the AR 15, a semi-automatic rifle used in many of the deadliest mass shootings in the U.S., including those at Sandy Hook, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last week. The high velocity bullets have the capacity to shatter bone and leave lethal wounds, more commonly seen in combat, compelling emergency services to update their protocol and stock proper equipment for treatment. Includes interviews with: Rusty Duncan, assistant fire chief, Sutherland Springs, Texas; Cynthia Bir, ballistics expert, University of Southern California; Lillian Liao, trauma surgeon, San Antonio University Hospital; Maddy Wilford, student/victim, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High; Laz Ojeda, paramedic, Broward County EMS, and Dr. Peter Antevy, Broward County Medical Director; Ryland Ward, mass-shooting victim.
