Abstract

Conversations on gun violence in schools have largely been dominated by discussions of gun ownership and mental health. Drawing off of audio-visual recordings, archival data, and autobiographical accounts, this paper provides a theoretically informed account of an averted school shooting. It demonstrates that both carrying out and preventing violence are contingent on framing work similar to that carried out in ordinary internal and external conversation, and shows how such a framework complements existing theories on the etiology of school shootings.
