Fort Worth community members are calling for an end to gun violence following multiple shootings recently.
As SWAT teams were conducting their work at the complex, the Fort Worth organization United My Justice held a press conference outside City Hall to address gun violence in the city. Group founder Donnell Ballard said the gathering Friday was in response to the shooting Monday night outside a Fort Worth strip mall center, which“What we’re saying today is, no we don’t want to go into the late part of the summer and have all of this killing going on. We’re saying, enough is enough.
Data from the Fort Worth Police Department shows as of June 11, overall violent crime is down 7.4% compared to this point in 2022. Murders are down 18% from the same time frame, and non-fatal shootings are down about 28%. “I would like to emphasize that every violent crime matters and every life lost to violence is a tragedy. But these downward trends are encouraging,” a department spokesperson wrote in an email.“I park my car a certain way at night. My roommate is a female, so she works during the day. When she goes out at night, I make an effort when I am home to walk with her. So, you just try to be cautious of it,” he said. “That’s the hope, right? That we’re looking out for each other.
