PHILADELPHIA, November 22, 2023 – Senator Christine Tartaglione released the following statement regarding the mass shooting in Fairhill.
“Yesterday evening, just a few hundred feet from my Allegheny Avenue office, a heart-wrenching incident of violence unfolded, casting a chilling shadow over our community just days before Thanksgiving. A tragic mass shooting resulted in the loss of two lives and left five others injured.
The pervasive issue of gun violence has become an affliction upon our nation, commonwealth, and city, tearing at the very fabric of our communities.
It is crucial that we unite in solidarity to advocate for the enactment of sensible and comprehensive gun control measures. Additionally, we must actively support and elect politicians and leaders who share the belief that we can take meaningful action to curb this senseless violence.
We must act and act swiftly to safeguard our neighborhoods and work collectively to prevent the pervasive cycle of these gut-wrenching events in our city.”
