Six people were shot at a car wash on Cleburne Rd. in Fort Worth, Texas including two little girls who were killed.
"It's going to have to be with the black community and the black church coming together to solve this problem," Rev. Kyev P. Tatum said.FORT WORTH, Texas — As family and friends prepare to remember the Fourth of July Fort Worth shooting victims, some community leaders have started talks about how to prevent future deadly shootings.
On July 4 police found two people killed and several others injured near Castleman Street and Wiman Drive. Police charged a 26-year-old with capital murder of the one-year-old, four-year-old and an unrelated 42-year-old. Two others were also injured in the shooting. The clergy-led meeting drew leaders from several anti-violence organizations. Pastor Rodney McIntosh stressed the same violence has happened back-to-back years in Fort Worth.
Other community leaders also weighed in like Diane Ossenkop and her team from Moms Demand Action. One of their goals includes raising awareness of gun safety for gun owners, especially adults who own weapons with children in the home.
