There has been another church shooting, this time in the Birmingham, Alabama, area. Two people were killed and another person was injured yesterday evening in an attack at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Vestavia Hills. The suspect, who has not yet been identified publicly, is in custody.

When I saw the news, I had to decide whether or not to report it. If it seems mass shootings are daily occurrences, that's because it's true. The Gun Violence Archive has counted at least 246 mass shootings through early June. Since this is the 168th day of the year, we are averaging 1.5 such tragedies every day.

In a culture as broken as ours, compassion fatigue is real. How many of the signs are you experiencing?

• Feeling exhausted physically and psychologically


• Feeling helpless, hopeless, or powerless


• Feeling irritable, angry, sad, or numb


• A sense of being detached or having decreased pleasure in activities


• Ruminating about the suffering of others and feeling anger towards the events or people causing the suffering


• Blaming yourself and having thoughts of not having done enough to help the people who are suffering


• A decreased sense of personal and professional accomplishment


• A change in your worldview or spirituality


• Physical symptoms, including sleep and appetite disturbances, nausea, and dizziness.
