Before his suicide, this father of a Sandy Hook victim -- who was also a neuroscientist -- sought to find the origins of violence in the brain
Soon after the December 2012 shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Connecticut, in which a gunman murdered 20 children and six adults, a question began to haunt the parents of 6-year-old Avielle Richman, one of the victims that day.
"I remember asking, 'Why would somebody walk into a school and kill my child?'"Jennifer Hensel told Anderson Cooper in 2013."I need to know that answer. I have to have that answer." To search for that answer, Hensel and her husband, Jeremy Richman, drew on their unique expertise. They were both scientists, and Richman was a neuroscientist long experienced in studying the human brain.
"What struck me forcibly about Jeremy was his ability to look beyond personal tragedy and recognize that we desperately need to understand the causes of violence in order to prevent future tragedies," Raine wrote in an email."That takes both enormous emotional courage as well as a clear-thinking, dispassionate mindset."
