How Megan Keleman’s tragic death can lead to meaningful change | Rep. Casey Weinstein (msn.com)

In a senseless act of violence, Megan Keleman lost her life on Aug. 14 in a Taco Bell drive-thru in Stow. Her tragic death, at the hands of a man grappling with profound mental health issues, has galvanized her family. The Kelemans have emerged as powerful advocates for reform, seeking to prevent future tragedies through common-sense gun laws.As I reflect on Megan’s life and the painful loss her family endures, it’s clear we have a responsibility to address gaps in our current laws and protect our communities.Megan was a vibrant, young woman whose life was marked by purpose and promise. A recent graduate with an MBA from Cleveland State University, Megan was dedicated to helping troubled children through her work at Shelter Care, a nonprofit organization. Her family describes her as a born leader, someone who brought light and energy into every room she entered. Her dreams were cut short in a violent tragedy that should never have happened.

We’re also advocating for universal background checks and red flag laws to keep guns out of the hands of those who pose a risk to themselves and others.
