Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney on Tuesday signed an executive order banning guns at city recreation facilities. “Even if you have a permit to carry and you go on those premises, then you have a problem with me,” DA Larry Krasner warned.
“Our facilities are staffed by public servants who care deeply for their own communities and who mentor all young people who come through their gate as if they were their own. But too often recently our recreation centers and playgrounds have become the scene of gun battles, violence and senseless loss of life,” Ott Lovell said.
"As long as we know you’re working to keep the guns away," said Taaijah Henderson, Fletcher's cousin."A start always means you’re trying.”
