Montgomery, Alabama
For the third city council meeting in a row, hundreds of concerned residents packed City Hall Tuesday night. Frustrated citizens wanted to talk to the mayor and city council members about their experiences with crime and daily shootings in the Capitol City. All nine city council members were present to hear concerns, but for the second meeting in a row, Mayor Steven Reed was absent. A spokesman for the Mayor said he was on an economic development trip.
Carron Morrow, whose dear friend Gloria Crews was shot and killed on Mother’s Day, challenged the mayor’s claim that crime is down in the Capitol City. “He said crime is down 30% and murders are down 10%. Well, I can tell you Mr. Mayor, people don’t believe you! There were 16 shootings this past weekend when you said crime was down. Gloria Crews’ family didn’t believe it. This wasn’t a tv show or video game they were watching.
