"I hope that people are moved by what they see, read and hear," said Silvia Foster-Frau, a national reporter with the Washington Post and one of the journalists behind the newspaper's series examining the impact of the AR-15. Foster-Frau says careful consideration was paid to the decisions of what images to release, saying the Post went through thousands. Still, other parents aware of the Post's incoming report this week pleaded with community members online not to share the images from the article.
