Serena Williams says the recent fatal police shootings of two black men and the attack in Dallas have worried her.
Asked about those episodes after winning Wimbledon on Saturday, Williams says the events made her think about her nephews.
She says that "I'm thinking, do I have to call them and tell them, 'Don't go outside. If you get in your car, it might be the last time I see you.'"
On Tuesday in Louisiana, a black man was shot by police and the incident was captured on cellphone video. A day later in Minnesota, another black man was shot dead by an officer, this time after a traffic stop.
And then, as demonstrators amassed in Dallas on Thursday, five police officers were shot and killed and seven other officers and two civilians were wounded.
Williams says "obviously, violence is not the answer of solving it. The shooting in Dallas was very sad."
