As of Aug. 30, there have been 114 homicides in Washington. And D.C. has strict gun laws. Police there estimate they've recovered 6,000 illegal firearms in just the past three years.
Steve Zanders, head coach of the Woodland Tigers youth football team in southeast Washington, D.C., has seen a lot in 35 years of coaching.
The championship-level success they earned as youths earned community fame but also put targets on their backs. As of Aug. 30, there have been 114 homicides in Washington. And D.C. has strict gun laws. Police there estimate they've recovered 6,000 illegal firearms in just the past three years. D.C. does not honor concealed carry reciprocity laws from other states, nor does the city allow open carry.
Now the coach said he has just enough money to run a modest summer program at best. The Woodland Tigers have boys ranging in age from 5 to 15 from surrounding communities.
