WFMZ-TV reports from Reading, PA: A group from Reading got together Sunday afternoon to hold a vigil for victims of gun violence over the past year.
The group remembered the victims of the Arizona shootings that happened a year ago and also paused to remember those killed or injured by gun violence in Reading and nationwide.
Reading Mayor Vaughn Spencer was on hand for the event.
He said it’s important the city works toward getting illegal firearms off of the streets.
“There’s just been too many lives lost over the past two decades here in our city related to hand guns and illegal firearms that are being used,” said Spencer. “The hand guns that are in our streets, just unacceptable.”
Spencer said its important for city residents to be vigilant in getting the illegal guns off the streets.
The event was organized by CeaseFirePA and the Brady Campaign.
