If the Extreme Risk Protection Orders/Red Flag Law were in place, Henry would be alive today. If someone believes that you are a danger to yourself or others, police can take your guns away for days, weeks, months or a year. In a study cited by the gun-control advocacy group Giffords found that the average shooter displays several concerning behaviors and experiences, including dealing with multiple stressors in the year before the attack, taking a week or so to prepare for the attack, having troubling personal interactions, or sharing their violent intent with someone. In my sons’ case there were concerns in his father’s behavior leading back a couple of years before he killed Henry, but Henry’s voice was silenced by threats if he said anything. I believe that if the police are notified and follow-up with check welfare calls, the other parent with legal custody should be made aware of those and any concerns that arise out of those visits. In Honor of my son Henry, I ask if you could please share this important petition.                           Sincerely, Henry’s Mother
