"I immediately just felt for the families," said Debra Gillispie, founder of Mothers Against Gun Violence. "Gun violence can happen anywhere."
In this case, it happened just two houses down from Gillispie.
"When you’re having some sort of altercations or differences, to kill someone is so final. You can’t take that back," Gillispie said. "There is no mending your ways. It’s final."
Investigators towed away this car, which was left with all the doors open.
Her organization is pushing for stricter gun laws and supports families who are impacted by shootings.
