Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer is joining with 23 other prosecutors from major U.S. cities to develop and promote policies aimed at reducing gun violence, it was announced Wednesday.
Prosecutors Against Gun Violence is a nonpartisan group that is co-chaired by Feuer and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. A summit is planned for Oct. 21-22 in Atlanta where the prosecutors will develop a strategy.
The group plans to look at the connections of gun violence with gangs, illegal weapons trafficking, domestic violence and mental health issues, Feuer said.
“Together, prosecutors across our nation can make a major impact on the gun violence afflicting our communities,” Feuer said. (Full story at Dailynews)
