Life after a shooting

Maya Escobar was changed by a shooting that penetrated the windows of her house when she was eight years-old. As the sounds of gunshots continue, her take on the subject has evolved. "I continue to hear gunshots near my house and it makes me uncomfortable. My main fear is that one of my family members, not just me, could be in danger. Instead of feeling fear all the time, I decided that it’s better to have a plan in mind to deal with shootings."  Does having experience prepare you for the reality of gun violence in your life? Her commentary from Youth Radio.
