In Miami: Community Leaders Gather To Stop Gun Violence

April 22, 2013 11:24 PM

MIAMI (CBS4) – Hundreds gathered at Miami Jackson Senior High School to talk about ways to stop gun violence.

The National Action Network hosted the forum Monday night.

Superintendent Alberto Carvalho says 99 children in Miami-Dade became homicide victims between 2009-2012, including 81 shooting victims.

“Since I became superintendent, I’ve attended over 50 funerals, viewings, burials of my children. This has to stop. It’s in our control to make it stop,” said Carvalho.
