No end to gun violence in Chester

Last week a group placed 144 T-shirts on an empty lot on Ninth Street in Chester. They commemorate those lost to gun violence in the city since 2009.

Tomorrow another group will march from the city to the Providence Friends Meeting House in Media in support of stricter gun control laws.

Apparently not everyone is getting the message.

Gun violence continues to plague the city.

Last night one man was killed and two others wounded when gunfire rang out at West Seventh and Lloyd Streets. I don't know what the answer is.

The mayor and county officials kicked off what they called Operation City Surge a couple of weeks ago. They vowed to beef up the police presence in the city.

It hasn't stopped the gun violence.

I'm not sure what will.
