High school students complete PSA on gun violence days before multiple shootings

As Cincinnati saw a series of shootings, a group of Taft High School students released a video telling people to not just put down guns, but take an active role in stopping violence. In this video, a teenager finds a gun, picks it up and shows it off to his friends. Then some of his friends decide to say something to his mother. When he comes home, his mother sits him down and explains why he shouldn't have the gun. It ends with him giving up the gun and nobody gets hurt. "We lost three students at our school to gun violence and I've had neighbors and family members I lost to gun violence," said Thaysha Nelson. Nelson was one of the students who worked on the PSA. For her and other Taft High School students, the message they were trying to send was personal. "People are getting killed and it's sad it just got to stop," said Ta'Kera Orr. "Within the past year, almost two years now, he was shot just walking home."
