Neighbors who witness and experience the brutality of shootings are at a loss.
Mayor Jim Kenney's office released this statement:
"The national rise in gun violence is harming communities across our country, including here in Philadelphia. The senseless injury, trauma, and loss of life we are facing are unacceptable. Addressing this crisis is the top priority for City leadership, and the proposed budget that our office introduced last month will sustain the record-high investments we are making in public safety and criminal justice.
"Residents with information about crimes this week, or any others, can report it to the Police Department by calling or texting 215-686-TIPS. Tips can also be made anonymously. "If you know someone at-risk of engaging in or being targeted by gun violence, call the City's 24-Hour Violence Prevention Hotline at 2-1-1 to get connected to resources. Call 911 for emergencies.""The Philadelphia Police Department is fully committed to investigating each of these incidents and arresting those responsible for committing these heinous acts.
We urge anyone with information concerning these or any other cases to call or text our tipline at 215-686-TIPS . You can remain anonymous. There is a standing $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of a homicide suspect."
