On The Vicki McKenna Show: To Discuss the Pawtucket, Rhode Island Hockey Arena Shooting
Dr. John Lott talked to Vicki McKenna on her statewide radio show in Wisconsin about the latest mass shooting at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, which authorities report was committed by a transgender individual. (Thursday, February 19, 2026)...
Definition of “mass shooting” was clarifying and useful, and ref. to the FBI definition. Ditto stats over time in the US–a peak in 2012, etc.–compared with the big statement that worldwide there’s great increase, and mentioning the Russian school shooting.
Are such talks available in text form to allow passing along? Parts are worthwhile to excerpt and spread out, but few or none would take a chance and sit down to listen to a recording.
Great to raise strongly the intent and need of such killers to attack where victims are helpless.
