Nuggets coach Michael Malone speaks out on gun violence: “How many times are we gonna see the same story and nothing changes?”

MILWAUKEE — The Nuggets’ Michael Malone became the latest NBA coach to speak out about gun violence following Wednesday’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 people.

Malone, who has two young daughters and whose wife, Jocelyn, is a former teacher, said his first emotion upon hearing the news was sadness for those impacted. But “then that emotion turns to anger and frustration, because it keeps happening.”

“What are we doing to prevent that? What are we doing to stop it?” Malone said at Denver’s shootaround prior to their road game against the Bucks.
