During an emotional press conference Sunday night, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms called for citizens to stop "shooting each other up on our streets." This was after an 8-year-old girl was shot and killed near a Wendy's on the 4th of July.
Bottoms, who is considered a possible running mate with Joe Biden, fought back tears during the remarks. There have been a staggering number of deaths in cities across the United States. Sixty-three people were injured and 17 killed in Chicago, including two children, over the weekend; and in New York City, 44 were hurt and at least six killed.
“Enough is enough," Bottoms said, per Fox News. "Enough is enough. We have talked about this movement that's happening across America and this moment in time when we have the ears and the interests of people across this country and across this globe who are saying they want to see change. But the difference in this moment in time with the civil rights movement -- in the civil rights movement, there was a defined, common enemy. We're fighting the enemy within when we are shooting each other up on our streets."
