"What this community needs right now is support for the trauma they have experienced," said gun control advocate Sandy Phillips.

Phillips' 24-year-old daughter was one of 12 murdered in the 2017 Aurora theater shooting and she remembers well the shock and trauma felt by grieving friends and families.

"It is not the time for branding and t-shirts or pro-gun groups or gun reform groups to be organizing these students," she told Xinhua on Monday.

"What they need is trauma therapists on site to teach skill sets to help with the PTSD that will arise in both students and faculty," she said.

Last week, Sandy and her husband Lonnie Phillips were hosted by cnn's Anderson Cooper in a discussion on ways to reduce gun deaths in America and other issues related to these tragedies.

TOUGH CHOICE

Brauchler became a national figure during the Aurora theater shooting trial and has been known for his no-nonsense approach toward murderers and pursuit of the death penalty.

With liberal politicians running Colorado in 2019, the Senate Judiciary Committee in March voted 3-2 to abolish the death penalty, but it's not off the books yet.

So Brauchler still has the option, with which he unsuccessfully tried against the Batman movie killer in 2017.

Court insiders told Xinhua that Brauchler will likely charge both STEM suspects as adults, and may seek the death penalty on Devon Erickson.
