Fatal shooting of 1-year-old girl rocks Compton community

The parents of a one-year-old girl shot dead by a stray bullet in Compton say they're heartbroken.

Take Two's Deepa Fernandes spoke with social commentator and political advisor Jasmyne Cannick, who grew up in Compton, about Tuesday's shooting and the community's reaction.
