Fighting gun violence in Chicago
Tio Hardiman, director of CeaseFire Illinois, says part of the solution to reducing crime in Chicago begins with understanding that violence is model behavior and a matter of public health.
He's supportive of the remarks President Obama made while visiting his town, which addressed the problems with crime there and throughout the country.
Hardiman's focus isn't on challenging gun laws, but on showing young people that they have a choice about their path in life.
"We have a Sandy Hook incident in Chicago every 30 days," he told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "We have to change the way people think. We have generations of people that grew up in this culture of violence in Chicago."

Cooper on veterans and mental illness
Bradley Cooper tells Anderson Cooper why his role as a man with bipolar disorder in "Silver Linings Playbook" inspired him to raise awareness about mental illness.
He recently visited the White House to meet with Vice President Biden about gun violence and mental health.
Bradley calls the number of veterans who commit suicide "a national tragedy." He showed the movie at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to about 200 service members and their families."We must have spent three and a half hours there talking to them, meeting them, hearing their stories, and it was incredible," he says.
The Oscar-nominated actor believes his character in the film is relatable and gives viewers a better understanding of mental illness, which will ultimately help erode the stigma.
