YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) - Communities in York came together today to stand up against gun violence.
The Bethlehem Baptist Church organized the anti-violence walk this morning in which they invited neighbors and local leaders to join them.
Organizers say they've witnessed gun violence first-hand in the city and it needs to be put to a stop.
Bishop Anthony Pinkney and Keisha Pinkney said, "We want to work with York City Police Department and York City - I know they have a system here in York City, but we want to bridge that gap as my wife was saying -- we want to be hands-on with the community."
Last year there were 21 homicides in York which is the highest the city says its seen in the past 20 years.
