*Lord have mercy! From a national perspective, we all know it’s bad, but when you actually see the numbers, that’s when it really sinks in. In this case, we’re referring to school shootings in Philadelphia.
The alarming numbers were released by the School District of Philadelphia on Monday. Here’s the bottom line. 100 students have been shot and 20 of them were killed.
“Twenty school children in Philadelphia that will have no more hopes and dreams,” Michelle Kerr-Spry, of Mothers In Charge, a violence prevention, education and intervention organization, said. “But there could have been 100 homicides, it is only by luck that there aren’t.”
