“I learned from attending this group that people can be traumatized in many ways.
Trauma can affect the way people live.  If you become involved in gang activity, you will probably carry a gun at all times.  If you shoot at someone, it can affect the people who witness the shooting or are caught in the crossfire.  Stores and schools can be shut down due to shootings.  Judges may be harder on adults but there are a lot of kids picking up guns and killing each other.  This has to stop!”
