On Wednesday night, a 13-year-old was shot in the head and a 16-year-old was shot in the back inside a Harlem restaurant.

Erica Ford, founder of Life Camp and member of the city’s crisis management team who is on the front lines trying to end the cycle of violence spoke with PIX11 News to discuss the rise in gun violence and its impact on the youth.
