You don't see this very often.

NEW IBERIA, La. — Two mothers are mourning the loss of their two teenage boys after a shooting last night. Now, local leaders are working towards figuring out a solution to gun violence.

Police says the two young men were arguing on the 700 block of Rosalie Street in New Iberia before they shot and killed each other instantly

quote:
Local leaders, like City Councilwoman Deedy Johnson-Reid, says that one of the problems in New Iberia is the lack of programs for its youth.

“There’s not enough for the kids of New Iberia to do," said Johnson-Reid. "We’ve got to figure out the way to put some programs out here, so our kids have something else to do… another way to kind of handle their anger, teach them some discipline, so we don’t have this gun violence that’s happening way too often in the city.”

She also says she believes that parents should receive more training on how to keep children and teens out of trouble.

Someone needs to let Dee Dee know that every town, kid, person, has the same "programs" for youth that I did for my kid. It was ME, the Rusted Spoke after school program. Until the black community recognizes this, no matter how much money, sympathy, or attention the government gives them they will never get out from where they are. QUIT BLAMING everyone and everything else and start taking responsibility.
