Fox News
Washington D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said Monday she is directing the city's police department to use as much overtime as is necessary to combat gun violence following a bloody weekend in which a six-year-old girl was killed by gunfire and shots were fired outside a Major League Baseball stadium.
"Over the past year, the District of Columbia has been grappling with a sustained increase in gun violence," Bowser wrote. "The terrible incidents of this past weekend, including the tragic murder of six-year-old Nyjah Courtney, illustrates how far we still must go to address the brazen shooters in our neighborhoods." The announcement comes amid a spike in crime across the city. As of Monday, the Metropolitan Police Department reported 103 killings. The city experienced 198 for all of 2020, according to police figures. Bowser wrote that community members impacted by gun violence want to see a sustained police presence.
