YOUNGSTOWN The Community Initiative to Reduce Violence hosted a gun violence call-in program on Thursday at Youngstown Municipal Court.
The program is focused on addressing people who have been involved in violence, including those on probation or who have had other run-ins with law enforcement.
Guy Burney, director of CIRV, said if there aren t interventions now, some people might soon become another violence causality statistic in the city.
Police are battling a surge of gun violence. On Wednesday night, the Youngstown Police Department responded to a report of gunfire at West Boston Avenue and Idlewood Avenue. A man who was found in a shot-up vehicle was declared dead at the scene.
