\"\"In the United States, an active shooter incident occurs every 14 days. It is no longer a question of “if” it will happen, but “when.” And while these statistics are jarring, the personal stories behind them remain largely untold. Following each tragic occurrence, lives are disrupted, people are traumatized, and survivors and family members are left reeling. For the first time, ever, Investigation Discovery will bring forward poignant, intimate and unheard stories in the documentary film, IN MEMORIAM. The film moves past the polarized gun control debate, focusing on the lasting emotional scars mass shootings leave behind. We hear in detail from survivors and first responders from the attacks that took place over six short months at the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest music festival; the Sutherland Springs Baptist Church; and, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. IN MEMORIAM premieres with limited commercial interruption on February 8th at 9\/8c, only on Investigation Discovery.<\/p>\n

“Gun violence can no longer be categorized as just pervasive – it is a devastating issue plaguing our country, where victims and survivors of mass shootings have often been overlooked as the news moved on.” says Henry Schleiff, Group President of Investigation Discovery, Travel Channel, American Heroes Channel and Destination America. “This film is our first step to shed a klieg light on this epidemic, and one which we hope will serve as a catalyst to ignite awareness – and, sensible action – around the true cost of these preventable tragedies.”<\/p>
