54 shot, 7 killed in 4th of July weekend violence
"It's as if no matter what you do, something is going to happen and something is going to happen to a child," Street Pastor Donovan Price.
Price said sadly his team expects the violence is not over yet.
"I hate to say we wait for it or we expect it," he said. "Fourth of July weekend has proven itself to be what it's going to be. The numbers aren't what last year were. However, that is not a sign that's it's getting better. That's just the ebb and flow of violence."
No one is in custody and Area One detective are investigating.
