In response to yet another shooting in Lexington, Devine Carama, Director of One Lexington, expresses his frustration, stating, “Today I was angry.” He emphasizes that while shooting incidents have decreased overall in the area, the persistent issue of gun disputes reflects a troubling cultural reliance on firearms to resolve conflicts.
