SAN ANTONIO — After hearing from six grieving families in the past few days, an anti-violence advocate living in east San Antonio is pleading for the shooting to stop.
"Six people dead from gun violence in 72 hours," said Adrianne House, specifying the scope of the turmoil. "That we know of so far."
House said the toll is probably higher in the community; she was just speaking about people she had personal contact with after the losses.
"This is the trauma of the community," House said. "The total keeps going up. There are eight, if not more, total."
"We have so many community organizations, so many advocates, including myself. So you have to start questioning yourself and asking, 'What are we doing?'"
House said it's a question everyone should be asking.
