We're rounding out our coverage of the aftermath of the Trump rally shooting with stories that:

Explore how common high school shooting teams are.
Examine the state's gun laws and efforts to change them.
Ask if the region's reputation and economy will be affected by the assassination attempt.

Our stories this week also highlighted a multimillion-dollar infusion to help Pa. companies cut carbon emissions; a proposal that could fell scores of Highland Park trees; a check-in with Pittsburgh-area Democratic delegates following the president's decision to drop his bid for re-election; and a first-person essay from a woman who turned her traumatic experiences into a life's purpose to help others.

And don't miss our photo-forward feature on the pro-wrestling scene in Pittsburgh.
