Devorah Halberstam
Devorah Halberstam is an American political activist. Halberstam is noted for her advocacy of gun control. She is the mother of Ari Halberstam who was killed in the 1994 Brooklyn Bridge shooting in which an immigrant Lebanese gunman used automatic weapons to attack a van filled with Brooklyn school children. In the years following this tragedy, she "campaigned obsessively" to have her son's death investigated as politically motivated terrorism rather than as simple murder, gradually transitioning from a parent traumatized by her son's violent death to "an authority on terrorism with close ties to law enforcement officials." Former New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly describes Halberstam as, "a major force in the political world, and certainly those people who focus on the issue
