It's too easy to turn the murder of black and Latino young men in big cities into statistics. There are just so many shootings. But there was something about the murder this past week of 14-year-old Davon Ellis in Oakland that made it hard to rack it up as just another murder. For one thing, it seemed so random. Host Scott Shafer talks with teens at MetWest High School in Oakland - including a friend of Davon's - about the pervasive violence around them. He also talks to a mental health professional about how this violence affects kids and how they counsel young people to cope.
