The Cherry Creek School District announced it would be canceling the games out of an abundance of caution following recent gang-related violence in the Denver metro area.
“That's disturbing. I mean, it's scary," said Shawnee, who was picking up her daughter from Overland High School."So, after they canceled this one, what's the next event we're going to do to try and protect?”“It is senseless violence. It just is senseless," said Shawnee."It is not right for kids to lose their life so young like this."
“This is going to continue if we do not come up with some real different kinds of solutions,” said Reverend Reginald Holmes with the New Covenant Christian Church. “The bottom line is there is saturation in the communities where this violence is happening, and that saturation must stop,” said Holmes.
