#5282 — St. Louis gun violence advocates call for change after baby shot and killed; black 10-year-old charged with murder

It's not a gun problem, it's a behavior problem propagated by TV, social
media, games, and those in the immediate social structure.  They ALL
promote the misuse of guns as minor problem solvers.

THAT's where the problem is.

ST. LOUIS — Gun violence advocates are calling for change after
7-month-old Kiyomi Parker was shot and killed on Friday afternoon inside
a home on North Broadway. 

During a preliminary investigation, detectives found out that a
10-year-old boy was responsible for shooting the baby girl. He was taken
into custody, and the Juvenile Courts charged him with first-degree
murder, police announced Saturday. 

A 19-year-old man was also arrested after questioning and will be facing
gun charges. 

"This is such a sad and unfortunate incident to happen to a baby that
didn't even really begin to live life," gun advocate Precious Jones
said. 

Jones' son died from gun violence a few years back. She is now fighting
to save others from the same fate. 

"This is two lives now changed forever," said Jones, referencing the 10-
and 19-year-olds. "These types of incidents can be prevented." 

Gun locks are available for free at various locations across St. Louis,
and all St. Louis Public Library branches carry them. 

"The library is not the first place you think of to get a gun lock, but
they are available for free here if you need them," Librarian Amy Brown
said. 

It's easier than ever to get a gun lock, Brown said.

 "Just walk up to any circulation desk and ask for a gun lock," said
 Brown. 

There are other ways to get a gun lock, too.

"You can go to any Phillips 66 or Crown Market and ask for a gun lock,"
Jones said. 

This shooting is still under investigation, but 5 On Your Side will keep
you updated once we hear more details from police surrounding what led
up to the shooting. 

"No one should be able to purchase a firearm without purchasing the
equipment that comes with it. I mean that should just be a law," Jones
said.

I remember this "violent video games"
excuse being used for the Las Vegas
mass shooting. 

Carried out by a 65 year old man. 

Because of the video games he must
have been playing. 

Sheesh............
