In a recent interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetrace.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Trace<\/a>, Lee talked about the different difficulties his subjects&#8212;mostly young, working-class black men&#8212;have faced navigating their lives and treating\u00a0their pain since being shot:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Getting shot really changes a person\u2019s social world; it makes them suspicious of other people. You see them going from young and vibrant to reclusive. They go to public settings, see a crowd, and get anxious that someone is affiliated with the person who shot them. The Fourth of July is a very stressful day for gunshot victims. A lot of the young men talk about how the sound of fireworks would give them flashbacks. I had one guy who told me he was out at a bowling alley with friends, the first time he\u2019d been out since he\u2019d been shot, and he was having a great time, and then the sounds of pins crashing caused a flashback. He had the feeling that everyone in the place was potentially the killer. This kind of thing makes it very difficult to resume everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Read the rest of the interview <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetrace.org\/2015\/09\/gunshot-injuries-research-jooyoung-lee\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gun violence has become a constant in American life.
