St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones released a statement late Sunday afternoon about the weekend violence.
"What should have been a joyous, warm weekend for our city has instead been difficult. We are seeing interpersonal conflicts escalate, made deadly when paired with the flood of firearms on our streets. Gun violence harms neighborhoods and families across St. Louis, and I’m keeping especially close in my prayers the youth St. Louis lost last night.
"SLMPD is reviewing and investigating this weekend’s incidents, and we will continue to work alongside our community violence intervention partners to address conflicts before they erupt. The City of St. Louis will continue to use every tool available to us to make our communities safer, but our families urgently need action with gun safety laws at the state and federal levels."
