Professor points to more people using guns more quickly
The violence comes two weeks after a mass shooting on W. 6th Street in the Warehouse District that wounded nine people.
“If you get into a dispute and you think somebody else has a gun and you have a gun, you're going to use yours before they use theirs,” Case Western Reserve University Professor Daniel Flannery said.“Many people are carrying arms right now that are also more lethal with their ammunition and expanded capacity and the ability to convert handguns into rifle-type semi-automatic weapons,” Flannery said. Cleveland has 105 homicides to date, up from 83 this time last year.
“Anytime there are instances like these, it’s alarming, and anytime there’s gun violence, anytime there are people shot, in this case, killed, it’s very, very serious,” President and CEO at Downtown Cleveland, Michael Deemer, said. They have ambassadors, cameras, and lighting but say police visibility is extremely important right now and has seen an increase.“There are communities trying to utilize a combination of technology as well as person power, a community-based approach and community input for what should be done in these spaces,” Flannery said.Watch live and local news any time:
