Dep. Commissioner John Stanford expressing his frustration in the presser right now. He tells reporters that they don't have enough bleeps to filter what he would say to the shooters. He says parents need to tell their kids that death is final, these events are final. Chilling.
DA Larry Krasner and Philly Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tony B. Watlington Sr. are both speaking at the presser. This feels like a game-changing story--this is a huge event. 5 kids shot, 4 in the hospital, 1 dead. It's too much. So many kids have been shot this year.
One of the things Dep. Commissioner Stanford and Dr. Watlington both said is that things that used to be handled with a fist fight are now handled with a gun fight. Kids have guns and want to use them. Philly has the worst gun homicide rate of all big cities. This MUST change.
