“I wanted to shake people out of this numbness that I was feeling whenever there was a school shooting,” says CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman. Seven years ago, Hartman began writing letters to parents asking to photograph their murdered children's rooms. Over the course of seven years, he traveled the country with photographer Lou Bopp, capturing the empty rooms left behind by children killed in school shootings. “When you go into a kid's room,” says Hartman, “you see their whole history. You see every dream, every desire, everything they value. It's all there on the walls and sitting on the shelves… I don't think there's really a better way to get to know a kid and to remember a life than to look around that room, to stand in that space.” #emptyroom #schoolshooting #newscoverage #gunviolence
