San Diego County Supervisors fail to advance gun violence prevention report in 2-2 vote.
SAN DIEGO – The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has failed to advance a study on gun violence along with recommendations, with supervisors deadlocking Tuesday on a 2-2 vote.
Vargas said the study was especially important and cited Monday’s death of a 1-year-old girl who was accidentally shot and killed by her 3-year- old sibling in Fallbrook.But Desmond said the report showed him that “we’re dealing with a mental health crisis. That’s absolutely where the focus needs to be.”
Polk said he and others “heard a wide range of perspectives” on gun violence, with mental illness, drug abuse, crime, gang violence and lack of family/social support systems being listed as factors. Elizabeth Munoz, a member of Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice, said her son was murdered in 2015 by gang members with guns.
