'Are we going to fix this?': Event calls for action after July 4 violence in Detroit

“This is a call to action to everybody in the city of Detroit,” Detroit City Council member Latisha Johnson said during a Wednesday evening Stop the Violence event at Edmore Marbud Park on Detroit's east side. During the event, elected officials, city leaders and community members prayed for the injured and mourned those killed in multiple shootings on Fourth of July weekend. “She 20 years old. She got shot in her face,” the uncle of Shanae Fletcher said.

maybe guns should be limited. they're used as weapons with the military, it shouldn't be something a person should be carrying around for their own use.
