guns, and they re investing more money into crime prevention and reduction. here s the mayor. 299, 261, nobody asked me a question about homicides. i ve been mayor for six years. i don t remember getting all this attention to less than 300. one is too many. one homicide is too many. all those city leaders that you re seeing there, they re pleading with the state legislature to have more stricter gun laws, essentially saying they re just allowing too many gun purchases, straw purr chagss of these illegal guns that people can buy many of them, jessica, and resell them on the street. that s a major issue, not just, again, in philadelphia, but in many cities. they re really hoping hearing the number of 500 will resonate with people to just stop with the homicides, stop with the violence. one can only hope. brinn gingras, thank so much. a new and alarming coronavirus variant has been detected in south africa.
