Piece Description

Host In: St. Louis is home to one of America's most active and aggressive gang cultures, helping make it one of the most violent U.S. cities. In parts of North St. Louis and North St. Louis County gangs wage turf wars that, in some cases, run block to block. The impact this has on people living in these neighborhoods is overwhelming. In part 2 of the 3-part series on gang violence Adam Allington examines the fallout for communities living under the perpetual threat of shootings, robberies and constant police presence.
