East Palo Alto police hold 4th annual gun buyback

EAST PALO ALTO, Calif.

For the fourth straight year, the East Palo Alto Police Department encouraged people to turn in their unwanted firearms. Every gun turned in came with a financial reward.

"We pay $100 per firearm and we've had people bring a minimum of one firearm and we had one individual who came earlier who provided us with 20 firearms," East Palo Alto Police Department spokesperson Kevin Ferreira said.

A total of 79 guns were turned into police.
