MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Community members say enough is enough when it comes to violent crime in Memphis.
They’re joining forces to launch a new initiative focused on reducing crime by starting in their neighborhood.
This new initiative comes amid a surge of violent crimes in which children are the victims, including a 10-year-old girl who police say was shot inside a Raleigh apartment complex Monday night while riding in her mother’s car.

MEMPHIS, Tenn
It took Dr. James Netters 93 years before he lost a fight. This is a man who fought injustice, who fought for the rights of people, and who fought for the souls of his congregation. But this time, Father Time beat Doctor James Netters, but only after he helped make this city a better place.
Dr. Netters died this past weekend surrounded by his family. His life achievements are long. He was one of the first African American City Council members in Memphis. Former City Councilman Myron Lowery says Netters was the foundation he stood on in HIS more than 20 years on the council.
