As local and state leaders work to combat violent crime in Cleveland hot spots, kids are being impacted by the violence.
"It makes my stomach drop. It makes my heart drop, my heart pound," said 9-year-old Amiyah Anthony.
Anthony said she knows people who have been shot,

Priah is in eight grade at East Preparatory Academy. He said violence is just a part of life.
"It’ll probably stop for a couple days then start back up," he added.
