After a weekend of violence in Fort Worth and surrounding communities, NBC 5’s Katy Blakey reports activists in Tarrant County are calling on leaders to do more about gun violence.
Paker, who is up for re-election in May, said the reduction equates to more than 700 fewer incidents.
“Our police department is laser-focused on what it looks like to drive down violent crime, especially among our youth and I know we’re doing all the right things and you do have the attention of our city leaders,” Parker said.
