There are many efforts underway by police and community leaders to stop gun violence, but the bullets just keep on flying -- including five shootings in four days in New Haven.  In light of this, we are returning to a conversation we had six months ago with Hamden resident Kimberly Washington.  Eight years ago, she founded the nonprofit "Mothers Demand Action" to bring attention to gun violence in her community and rallied mothers from around New Haven County to her cause. We talked to Kimberly at Hamden High School where she works as a teacher.
