Did you know, that after the July 2012 Aurora movie theatre mass shooting, which killed 12 people, including 24-year-old Alex Teves, Tom and Caren Teves, Alex’s parents, founded the No Notoriety movement, which calls on the media to refrain from gratuitously sharing the names of mass shooters, or showing their images, videos or manifestos?
Why is this important, you may ask?
Because fame-seeking — notoriety — wanting to make the headlines and to be remembered in our history books, is one of the most important motivating factors for the perpetrators in mass shootings.
