Pat Damer never thought it would happen to him or his family. But it happened. Twice.
His daughter was at Oxford High School on the day of the 2021 shooting that killed four students and injured seven. Her class barricaded themselves, armed with scissors and her textbooks. she survived.
A year later, another of Pat’s daughters was on the Michigan State University campus the night a shooter broke into two buildings, killing three students and injuring five. She survived too.
These experiences changed Pat, who now advocates for action against gun violence, especially with fellow Catholics.
