tonight, the powerful story of a young man who made a choice that might have saved his life. growing up in northern nnk nj, sam son davis could have embraced the street life. but after almost going to prisonments, he made a life-changing decision. day visz and two of his friends made a pact to rise above the dangerers, to study hard and to become doctors. and they did it. their incredible story became a best-selling book and then a documentary. but dr. davis isn t done. not by a long shot. he went home to be an emergency room doctor.
connection he made during his speech today. but here, in chicago, we get a newtown ever four months. let me show that clip, melissa. people need to understand that it s not only the mass killings, congressman day visz. it is the consistent kind of siege that people are living under in certain parts of this country. listen to this part of the president s speech. last year, there were 443 murders with a firearm on the streets of this city. 65 of those victims were 18 and under. so that s the equivalent of a newtown every four months. the equivalent, congressman davis, of a newtown every four months. i worked with you on our national action chapter network there. you ve been dealing with this for years with your constituents on the west side and all over
