Street minister posts sign about gun violence near where two teens were shot

Two boys, ages 15 and 16, are in the hospital after police found both shot in Cleveland.

The shootings happened just before midnight at East 116th Street and Miles Avenue.

Less than 24 hours later, a street minister took this crime scene as an opportunity to leave a message.

While trying to get information about a double shooting, News 5 Investigators met Tracy Bush.

He said he was at a young age when tackling gun violence became his calling.

“I’m just a messenger.”

Tracy drove out to East 116th Street and Miles Avenue to find a good spot to post his message.

“If there’s any retaliation that’s going to take place because of this shooting, maybe someone will look at it and say, ‘look here, you know what? let me see if I can discover a better way,’” Bush said.

Just hours earlier, at the same location, police came upon two boys. Both were in need of first aid for gunshot wounds.

Police got the call about shots fired at 11:30 p.m. on Sunday.

“We’re grateful we’re on the up floor and not down here,” Carmaletta Bolden said.
