“I think it’s incredibly disheartening, sadly it’s not shocking,” said Alex De Paula.
De Paula is the program director of an initiative called Safer Together. Safer Together is funded by the Department of Justice and includes area hospitals and community organizations. Their goal is the intervention and prevention of gun violence.
