Kids and Guns

Produced by:

Maria Hinojosa

Two 17 yr old students gunned down by a fellow 15 yr old student in the hallways of Jefferson High School in Brooklyn, NY. Not an uncommon occurrance in East NY, an area where families share their community with drug dealers. Living in an area with the city's second highest murder rate, kids have no protection against the violence that surrounds them, other than toting guns. In this neighborhood, a three block walk to school could be deadly. Producer Maria Hinojosa examines the reasons behind Kids and Guns.

Program Credits

Crips and Bloods was produced by Deborah Amos and Rick Davis. The editor was Deborah George.
