Philadelphia officials ‘outraged’ as Democrat-run city surpasses 400 homicides amid calls for more police
Fox News
As Philadelphia surpassed 400 homicides so far this year, one city councilmember is calling for more police officers and more funding in the Democrat-controlled city riddled with gun violence.
After at least four people were killed and another 10 were wounded across the City of Brotherly Love over the weekend, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is expected to address Philadelphia’s grim new milestone at a press conference at 11 a.m. Monday.
Mayor Jim Kenney, who has been in office since January 2016, said Sunday he plans to announce additional grassroots organizations this week to benefit from the $155.7 million in funding reserved to reduce and prevent violence.
