Gunshots rang out Friday as St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones was discussing gun violence prevention during a news conference -- and she did not flinch.
"My son and I fall asleep to the lullaby of gunshots in the distance every night," Jones said, responding to a question on whether she felt safe. "It's a part of my life now and that shouldn't be."
Before the news conference, Jones and Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas were participating in a roundtable on how gun violence is affecting their cities.
