"The thing that freaks me out the most is the idea of it become normalized," Moroski said. He's worried it's already happened and that's why the shootings seem to be more indiscriminate, in public places with lots of people. For another school board member, Melanie Bates, the violence is personal. Her husband was murdered in 2006 in the couple's front yard by a man who was attempting a robbery. That year at least 17 people under 20 were fatally shot. "It was a year like this year where there was a great deal of violence," Bates said. "It was really a seminal moment for the city."
