Springfield Police Chief addresses string of gun violence and more at city council meeting:
The chief says the recent shootings are not random, but the concern is still there.
“There is concern about an element in our society that hadn’t been there in the past that is growing,” said Chief Paul Williams. “We’re doing our best to keep a lid on it and take those people off the streets, but we really need the community to step up and be aware,” said Williams.
Back-to-back homicides are tragically hurting those in the Springfield area, with four deaths in just the last week.
The Springfield media is not so interested in finding what might be common threads between the victims and the perpetrators, instead focusing on the fact that guns were used since the Powers That Would Be are gearing up for a ballot initiative to supersede statewide law which keeps local governments from enacting gun control laws.
