EMPACT Sacramento
The Natomas High School community is reeling following a deadly shooting last Friday. The victim has been identified as 16-year-old De’Jon Sledge, a sophomore at Discovery High School, and two more people have been arrested. The Sacramento County District Attorney says it will not file homicide charges, calling the shooting an act of self-defense during an attempted robbery. Leia Schenk is the founder of the grassroots organization EMPACT, which has been a major source of support since the shooting. She joins Insight to talk about how her organization helps families feel supported and heal during difficult times.
