A woman whose son was killed in a mass shooting at a Nashville restaurant in 2018 announced her run for a Tennessee state legislative seat on Wednesday, saying she would push for gun control. Brooks has been a gun control advocate since a gunman murdered her son, Akilah Dasilva, and three other people at a Nashville Waffle House in 2018. Last summer, another son, Abede Dasilva, survived being shot, apparently by a stray bullet.
