Barbershops and salons are regarded in the Black community as safe, sacred spaces.
When those refuges are violated by gun violence, an unspoken bond is broken.
A 2020 study found that exposure to gun killings was linked to higher levels of depression, suicidal ideation.
In 2024 , there were about 20 shootings in the police district that includes Four Corners , five of them fatal.
Most of the victims were Black men, according to a KFF Health News analysis of Boston Police Department data.
Recovering from the trauma of witnessing gun violence is often more difficult for onlookers when they still live and work where the shootings happened.
