Where gun violence is common, some students say physical safety is a top concern
Briefly

The students at North Community High School in Minneapolis have experienced firsthand the devastating effects of gun violence, from finding a freshly fired bullet on the track to losing their friends to shootings. These traumatic events have created a normalized environment of violence, where incidents like these are distressingly common.
Despite federal efforts to address firearm injuries, students in communities like North Minneapolis feel a mismatch between the government's initiatives and the actual needs on the ground. They express a critical need for more tangible support, such as having police officers present in schools to enhance safety.
