Philadelphia Officials Grilled During Fiery Meeting About Safety In Queen Village After South Street Mass Shooting
“While the kids in here, I know they’re not getting shot at,” Philadelphia Police Officer Joe Ellerby said. “I know they ain’t doing no shooting. I know they’re getting positive love and energy.” Ellerby says the kids are missing guidance. He pours his heart and soul into helping them. That also includes settling any kinds of beef the kids may have with words, not violence.
“It takes teamwork and it’s not something a mother or father can do to keep your kid out of it,” Haneefah Williams, Munir’s mother, said.
