A look at violence in Chester - from someone who knows it too well

We spend a lot of time writing and describing the violence that takes place in the city of Chester.

Janene Shipley knows all about it.

She lives with it every day.

She took a bullet in her shoulder in the Saturday night hail of gunfire that snuffed out the life of 14-year-old Zenas Powell.

Shipley lives in Highland Gardens, which is often seen as ground zero for Chester's problems with guns and drugs.

She wants nothing more than to get out of the city.

And she's not the least bit reserved in how she feels about those responsible for the violence.

This week she sat down with reporter Rose Quinn to talk about Saturday night's incident and what life is like in Highland Gardens and the city of Chester.

It's an eye-opener.
