Warriors coach Steve Kerr urges youth to keep fighting for gun safety, awareness

NEWARK, Calif. -- Steve Kerr believes the voices of America's youth are finally being heard enough to create real change when it comes to gun violence.

Kerr told students at a Bay Area high school that safety in schools should be their "No. 1 issue," urged them to vote and consider what they might be able to do to make gun safety and awareness a priority.

Kerr, the Golden State Warriors coach who has been outspoken on many social justice issues, drew a big crowd and a standing ovation before sharing how his life was affected by gun violence more than three decades ago when his father was shot dead in a terrorist attack.
