GunShots: Gun Trafficking and Violence in the Bay Area
KQED and The Center for Investigative Reporting in association with theRake, present GunShots, a one-hour television documentary examining the illicit gun market, gun violence and safety in our neighborhoods. GunShots investigates the largest gun trafficking case in the Bay Area. It also takes a look at citizens and law enforcement officials who are making an effort to stop the gun violence that has infected California and the nation.
GunShots also examines current federal efforts to limit gun trafficking. Attorney General John Ashcroft has vowed to make gun violence one of his top priorities through Project Exile, an NRA-favored program, that stiffens penalties for using guns in crime. The program also investigates a federal gun tracing program begun in 1996 that emphasizes finding the sources of crime guns and preventing criminals from obtaining guns.
GunShots aired on KQED in Northern California on May 4, 2001, with a rebroadcast on November 2. BAY WINDOW is underwritten by The James Irvine Foundation, with additional support from the Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation and the Funders' Collaborative/Tides Foundation. GunShots will be hosted by Scott Shafer.
