In the past three days, her Kingsessing neighborhood has seen three shootings, one of which was fatal., two people were killed and four others were wounded in a shooting early Monday morning.In a tweet, Mayor Jim Kenney called the violence "devastating and unacceptable."

My deepest sympathies go out to all those affected by this senseless violence, especially families that have lost loved ones," the tweet said.Around this time last year, 361 homicides were recorded. And at this point in 2020, 309 people were killed.
