WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - The city of Wilmington, Delaware, is experiencing one of its most violent years.
The News Journal of Wilmington reported Saturday that 110 people have been shot, 20 of them fatally, so far in 2017.
Wilmington residents gathered Saturday at an event aimed at battling the city’s worsening gun violence. The War Cry Gospel Concert was started three years ago as a way for people talk about what they can do about the violence.
Two men were shot earlier that day in in the city. Police said the men were in stable condition.
Lynette Shorts Kornegay, a Wilmington author and poet in attendance Saturday, said the city must be more united in order to address the violence.
