Children and teens deal with the threat of gun violence on a daily basis in southeastern Pennsylvania. So community members and organizations are banding together to try to solve the dire problem.
Trevor was 14 years old when he bought his first gun from a friend.
The fight happened last year before Christmas, and after the brawl Trevor knew Christmas would look completely different for him. Kiefer has come to the conclusion that there is no quick way to stop gun violence, as it has become a part of the culture for many children and teens. "They have circumstances in their lives that I didn't have growing up, so they are bound to respond to those circumstances," Kiefer said."But they're just kids."
"I've lost a lot of people in my life to gun violence, most recently my brother, David, who introduced us to this barn," Rosser said."He was killed right before the pandemic started in March. He was gunned down in Philly right around the corner from where we grew up," Rosser said.
