Thursday night, on the way to my night shift at around 9:30, I passed two GPD units running lights and sirens in the area of Northwest 13th Street and 23rd Avenue. As I got closer to Northwest 43rd Street and Highway 441, I passed two more GPD units. I happened to be in conversation with an off-duty deputy, and we agreed there must be another shooting in Gainesville. Just days earlier, a woman was robbed and shot over her dog and fanny pack. The facts of Thursday night’s shooting yielded another woman shot in a week. Gun violence is unacceptable, no matter who the victim and perpetrator may be. However, we are dangerously progressing from young adult male victims to middle-aged working-class males and now women. Next will be children if we don’t intentionally tackle this illness. So, how do we address this complex matter? Truthfully, I’m not sure if I have any piece of the answer; however, I would like to make a point or two.
