The mayor's office said signing the executive order banning weapons at Philadelphia rec centers, playgrounds, and athletic fields is scheduled for Tuesday morning:
"As long as we know you’re working to keep the guns away," said Taaijah Henderson, Fletcher's cousin."A start always means you’re trying.”
Fletcher's family and friends remembered her Monday night outside of Mill Creek Recreation Center in West Philadelphia. It’s the exact location where she lost her life, caught in crossfire, while performing her duties at a city playground earlier this month. "You can’t even walk to the store, or like my cousin, you can even work without running or losing your life," Henderson said."It’s just crazy. Philly is crazy. We just got to come together, stick together.”. That's down 1% from the same time last year, which was the deadliest on record in the city.
There are additional resources for people or communities that have endured gun violence in Philadelphia.
