9 books to help us understand mass shootings

A reader just posted this great LA Times piece published right after the Las Vegas tragedy: 9 books to help us understand mass shootings.

It's a great reading list, and it was very nice to see Columbine included. Unfortunately, the list remains highly relevant. (Nice to see Sue Klebold's book also on the list.)
