Violence prevention groups are calling for action after a UPS driver was shot and wounded in Humboldt Park Tuesday morning.
Activists were at the scene of the shooting saying that nobody should be getting shot — least of all essential workers, including Uber, Lyft and taxi drivers as well as postal workers, package delivery people and pizza delivery drivers.
Violence prevention groups say there are resources available to help, including mental health services. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker highlighted gun violence and prevention Thursday by participating in a round table discussion at Temple Jeremiah in Northfield.The governor shared what Illinois is doing including trying to stop gun manufacturers from sending messages in their advertisements that can be perceived to promote violent crime.
"This is a good step forward and a good signal to the manufacturers that we're not going to allow them to take advantage of their ability to manipulate people in advertising and marketing," said Pritzker.
