One of which had just happened at his law firm.

My concern in writing the lawyer was access to practical materials for survivors/victims of crimes in SF Bay Area law libraries and other kinds of libraries.

But I do think that law firm was a major driver towards a assault weapons ban that went into effect. 101 California Street shooting - Wikipedia

I remember this shooting. It was a personal beef between the shooter and the law firm. SFPD SWAT was on the scene immediately because they were doing training exercises nearby. There was so much confusion from the 911 calls that the SWAT team thought there were multiple shooters not just one guy. But no matter how fast the cops respond they will never be there in time to stop these nuts. Only another gun will. That’s a sad fact. The gun restrictions enacted post event are meaningless. Until we find a way to end jealousy, greed, anger and rage we will have violence. As a species we must own that.
