Karina Sanchez has a daughter who was going to school at Madison Park but opted to transfer her daughter due to safety concerns. In fact, she picked up her daughter for the last time, 20-30 minutes before Monday's shooting.
"When I heard her voice this morning it sounded like a plea for help and it gave me a chill, and definitely, I felt well if she's not feeling safe then I have to do something," said Sanchez. Selena Wilson and Landon Hill run the East Oakland Youth Development Center. Monday they talked with their middle school age students about what had happened at Madison Park.
