Castlemont High: One school's struggle with daily violence

Between March and October of this year, there was an average of three shootings a day within a mile and a half of Castlemont High in East Oakland.  One time, bullets came through the front door.  Castlemont's students absorb the daily reality of gun violence, but they can never get used to it.  “You can be at the…safest place that you think and then some type of violence busts out.”  The story aired on NPR's All Things Considered and was produced by Youth Radio.trevor-watson-ed1b89dc96f7a550a6a2983398c80e5d930b122a-s3-c85
