Every time one of our young men or women in this city is a victim of gun violence, it affects the entire community. It has to stop. I’m tired of it. Our officers are tired of it. The mothers and fathers in this community are tired of it. We will continue working towards a community where our children are safe no matter where they are. I know we can do it with the community’s help” – Comandante Eric S. Sonstegard.
