How DC shootings have affected 564 out of 566 schools | NBC4 Washington
2 min read
Gunfire affects nearly every school in D.C. — and students notice.
The News4 I-Team and The Trace Gun Violence Data Hub conducted a joint investigation and found just two of the District’s 566 public and charter schools went 10 years without a single shooting nearby.
Science and residents’ own lived experience show the violence young people see, hear and have to cope with is taking a toll.
A 5-year-old girl named Shilo is in kindergarten at Ketcham Elementary School in the Anacostia neighborhood. Her mom, Sam, picks her up every day, then she only plays indoors. When the kindergartener and her mom hear gunshots, “I tell her it’s fireworks,” her mom said.
“I don’t want her to feel afraid,” she said.
