New Orleans DA calls for national response to violence crushing US cities: 'This is a triage moment'
Fox News
New Orleans District Attorney Jason Williams warned the city is at a 'triage moment' as 'unparalleled' crime and violence leave Americans in fear.
"I am quoted as saying Rome is burning, and that is not meant to be hyperbolic… I've been ringing this alarm for over a year now," Williams told co-host Bill Hemmer Thursday. "Not just in New Orleans, but in its entire country. Uvalde, Nashville, Tennessee, Midtown Atlanta yesterday, Cleveland, Texas last week." Bailee Hill is an associate editor with Fox News Digital.

"This pandemic of violence is not confined to New Orleans' borders, but this is the area that I am focused on. This is where my family lives, and the level of repeated violence is unparalleled and we need national and local responses to it."
