Episode Synopsis

Case closed - or is it?
The yellow tape has been removed, the street swept clean and the latest body has been buried. In some cases, the prosecution has rested its case, the person who pulled the trigger is put behind bars and police have moved on.
But for victims left behind after gun violence, the case is never really closed. Long after it strikes its intended victim, a bullet’s trajectory just keeps on going and buries itself in the memories it leaves behind -- and each new bullet adds a new victim and a new memory.
And those memories and the post-traumatic stress disorder that develops and grips victims in their wake are what this column is all about.
