Mayor Jim Ireton held a community meeting less than 24 hours after another shooting in Salisbury – the third in eleven days.
The Mayor called the meeting after the shooting deaths of 17 year old Rakim Russell and 21 year old Dommier Deshields in early August.
But by August 12th 24-year old Shawn Woodford was shot in the back.
WBOC reports that the meeting was joined by Maryland Attorney General.
Ireton said that stopping violence is a community effort that must begin with children.
And there were residents who said that when children get out of school in the summer there was little to do and they often turned to the streets.
