Live from the Newsroom tackles violence in Chester

Live from the Newsroom focuses on violence in Chester

With the city once again battling a rash of street shootings, our Wednesday night live-stream Internet broadcast 'Live From the Newsroom' will focus on violence in the city.

And we have a full roundtable of people who want to talk about it.

Here's who will be joining me and columnist Gil Spencer tonight:

* Mayor-elect John Linder.

* George Benson, uncle of a murder victim

* Nicole Cogdell, from Mothers in Charge.

* Rev. Rocky Brown, Chester police chaplain.

* Brothers of Concern, a Chester-based, antiviolence grassroots organization.

* We'll also have a statement from Mothers of Strength.

It should be noted that we also have put out invitations for Mayor Wendell Butler and Police Chief Darren Alston to join us. So far it does not appear that they will be part of the discussion. We'd love to have them if they have a change of heart.

Chester is a city on the move. But it continues to be plagued by a rash of street violence and an image that tells people it is still not safe to go there.

Tonight we hope to get some answers to the problem.

Join us for a look at violence in Chester 7-7:30 Wednesday night on DelcoTimes.com.
