Researchers at the Morehouse School of Medicine reviewed gunshot victims at a trauma center in Atlanta, and they found that over two years the bulk of the patients were male and African-American. We talked with Dr. Omar Danner, one of the study's researchers. We also heard from George Lee of the Savannah-based End Gun Violence: Step Forward initiative.
