Governor Moore’s response to the shooting is part of a larger effort to address the issue of gun violence in the state. In February of 2022, he released a comprehensive plan to break the cycle of violent crime and improve public safety. The plan included measures to address the root causes of gun violence, such as poverty, lack of access to education and job opportunities, and mental health issues.

The plan also called for increased funding for law enforcement and community-based organizations and increased support for programs that provide job training, education, and mental health services to at-risk individuals.

While there is no single solution to this complex problem, it is clear that action must be taken to prevent these tragedies from occurring in the future.
