Today District Attorney Sam Bregman spoke with students at Del Norte High School as part of the community anti-gun at-schools initiative throughout Bernalillo County.
DA Bregman had a very frank conversation about gun violence -- its impact on victims, family members and the people convicted of committing crimes with guns.
“By having an in-person conversation with students, you can hear their feedback and our young people need to hear there are serious consequences for bad decisions involving guns," Bregman said.
DA Bregman has visited more than a dozen schools since announcing his
