BUFFALO, N.Y. Shooting deaths in Erie County over the last 15 months are up 200 percent, including last week the death of a 3-year-old child. We ve been crying, said Pastor James Giles, Buffalo Peacemakers founder. We didn t just start crying. We cried out when the baby got shot. We cried out to everybody. We said that stuff s not supposed to happen.
Four Western New York state lawmakers allocated $219,000 in funding to organizations on the front lines $154,000 for Buffalo Peacemakers and $65,000 to the Stop the Violence Coalition. What we ve seen already is way too much, but their work has protected some of that and so we need that work to be continued, Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes said.
