Early this morning, we lost another young adult from gun violence here in the City of Mansfield. Our hearts go out to the family of the deceased and pray that God comfort and strengthen you during your time of bereavement.
It is very disheartening to see this continued display of negligence and senseless gun violence in our community. Local law enforcement has come together in the recent past to discuss the matter and develop an action plan and
strategy to address this issue. As a result, preventative measures are being implemented, but we need the help of our entire community to help us combat gun violence. The city will be meeting with pastors, community leaders and citizens in the near future to further explore ways to mitigate increased gun violence.
Prayerfully Submitted,
Mayor Thomas Jones, Jr.
