– San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said he’s angry that state leaders continue to make it easy for dangerous people to access weapons afterduring the Fiesta De Los Reyes event at Market Square over the weekend. Despite the gun violence, the mayor assures the public that “ Fiesta is safe.”
“Two young people needlessly ended their lives by opening fire at each other in a public place. That didn’t need to happen,” Nirnerberg said. “You know, we see too many of these violent crimes in our community over the last several years just simply as a result of young people with guns not knowing how to manage a conflict. We really need to get a grip on that as a country.”
“We’re going to do everything to make sure that our Fiestas, our parties, our public places continue to be safe places to be, which they are,” Nirenberg said. “We’re going to continue to make sure that our police department has the resources to respond when emergencies hit. And then we’re going to evaluate security measures moving forward.
“We are expecting the police chief to make recommendations on what they can do to increase security,” he said.
