“It’s a miracle that no one was injured.” said Chief Jonathan Parham. “But while we will continue to pray for peace, we recognize that “faith without works” will not keep our streets safe. The “work” I am referring to involves you, the community, sharing information with law enforcement about these cowardly acts of violence that threaten the innocent.
We need your help in identifying those persons that are involved; we need you acting as our extended eyes and ears."
