When nine-year-old Jacqueline Funes was hit by a stray bullet while she played outside her house in Oakland, California, her little brother Jonathan was by her side. He saw the whole thing.
At some schools in Oakland, three out of four children report losing a loved one to violence. Radio Bilingüe’s reporter Zaidee Stavely takes a look at how violence affects the children who know those wounded or killed, and the hidden wounds they bring with them to school.
This story is in Spanish only. Zaidee’s series in English, “Books and Bullets” is at KQED.
