Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper has pledged to implement changes following the tragic shooting death of 10-year-old Keith Frierson, who was allegedly killed by another 10-year-old boy. The suspect's father, a felon, was arrested for being an accessory and for illegally possessing the firearm used in the crime. Cooper emphasized the need to address illegal gun possession and to support youth in the community, announcing plans to engage with schools in impoverished areas to change the narrative for children. The sheriff's office aims to develop academic incentives and encourage community involvement to prevent such tragedies in the future.
