WKU Psychologist Weighs in on Connecticut Shootings
As the investigation into today's elementary school shooting in Connecticut continues, a psychology professor from Western Kentucky University is offering some advice for reporters at the scene.
Dr. Bill Pfohl is chair of a team that studies school shootings for the national association of school psychologists. He says children who have experienced trauma don't need to be interviewed by TV reporters.
"I think the pressure that the media could put these children under could be quite damaging, and could actually cause some long term problems that weren't there before," said Pfohl.
