This shooting came just hours after a rally demanding an end to gun violence also on the East Side at Phillis Wheatley Park.
”We’ve lost family members, friends, and community partners to gun violence, and the community violence needs to end,” said Bennie Price, CEO of Big Mama’s Safe House.On Saturday, several groups like Big Mama’s Safe House and Mom’s Demand Action rallied to get the community to come together against gun violence.
”Everyone is tired of the way, the status quo, and we’re just fed up and we’re gonna make a change,” said Amy Kercsmar, group lead for the Bexar County chapter of Mom’s Demand Action. Chief McManus said at this time they are not releasing information about the suspects involved in the shooting at the Antioch Village Apartments.
Saturday’s rally against gun violence comes ahead of a sit-in planned at our nation’s capitol demanding elected leaders pass an assault weapons ban. Join me, fellow parents of victims, and survivors June 6-12 at the Capitol in Washington D.C. as we sit in. We will be calling on members of Congress to push for an assault weapons ban.
