The Annual Arizona Child Fatality Review Program reports a rise in firearm-related fatalities and suicides.

To discuss the findings of the report and what can be done to prevent children from dying in Arizona, The Show talked to Dr. Mary Rimsza, a pediatrician and chair of the Arizona Child Fatality Review Program.
