PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) As the number of homicides in 2021 continues to outpace 2020 s already high numbers for Philadelphia, city leaders are encouraging the Pennsylvania legislature to step in and pass laws that could create a change. Our Pennsylvania legislature has not woken up, said Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. (The Legislature) has not awakened; has not smelled the coffee.
Philadelphia leaders say state lawmakers have been delaying or blocking gun legislation for too long. We don t even have common-sense gun laws, said Sen. Sharif Street (D-Philadelphia).
