Dr. Ken Wilson, a trauma surgeon at University of Chicago Medicine and a POP volunteer, said the number of children shot is increasing, and the ages of victims are getting younger.
"I think what goes unnoticed, mostly, is that those shootings that happened daily here in Chicago, by the end of a summer, matches all the children shot across the nation," Wilson said.
"These are supposed to be the happiest stretches of your life. You're not supposed to spend this paralyzed or with a colostomy bags. We just think about a 4 year old, you go with a colostomy bag, it doesn't it doesn't make sense," Wilson said. "Giving these kids a safe community and a sense of belonging. That is probably the most important thing that I can do," Wilson said.
