Media cover Virginia Tech shooting survivor’s visit to UMaine
WLBZ (Channel 2), WABI (Channel 5) and the Associated Press covered the University of Maine’s Male Athletes Against Violence (MAAV) screening of the film “Living for 32” and discussion about gun violence with a survivor of the 2007 mass shooting at Virginia Tech. Colin Goddard was shot four times during the Virginia Tech incident. His 911 call brought police to the scene, where 32 people were killed. “Living for 32” is Goddard’s story of that day and his subsequent role as an activist for stricter gun control laws as a volunteer for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. The Maine Public Broadcasting Network carried the AP report.
