In the U.S., one in three children live in a home with a firearm, posing a risk for gun-related violence and accidental shootings.

To help prevent tragic incidents, Saint Luke's has been giving away free gun safety locks at more than 20 of its convenient and primary care facilities throughout the metro.

Andrew Benedict, MD, surgeon and trauma medical director at Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City, joined KMBC to share more about the program and the importance of safely securing firearms.
