Eyewitness Account|Student talks about Kentucky interstate shooting

Law enforcement officials are conducting a search in a rural region of southeastern Kentucky for a 32-year-old man suspected in a weekend shooting that occurred over the weekend along Interstate 75. Five people were wounded and 12 vehicles were damaged.

Matthew Brock, a high school student who was present on a school bus traveling along the highway during the incident, joins Dr. Kaye to share his experience and to clarify the misinformation regarding the role of 18-wheelers in providing protection to the bus from the shooter.

The conversation also addresses issues related to gun control, the implementation of metal detectors in educational institutions, and the psychological effects of school shootings.
