‘I wish I could say it was something new:’ police, activists step in to assist in city’s latest mass shooting
Activist Corniki Bornds stands outside a crime victim assistance event on July 31, 2023, in response to a weekend mass shooting in the North Lawndale neighborhood that left one woman dead and another 8 injured.
The gathering at Deliverance Temple Church of the Apostolic Faith was just a few blocks away from where a 21-year-old woman was fatally shot Sunday morning. The mass shooting, which occurred at a birthday party in the 1500 block of South Keeler Avenue, left another eight people, seven of them women, wounded by gunfire.
“Because somebody is in their house right now that needs the help and the resources that are here, but they’re scared to come to this type of setting,” Bornds said.Mark Atkins, 50, lives a few blocks from where Sunday’s shooting took place. He said the recent violence isn’t surprising at all.Atkins heard about the support event because he attends Deliverance Temple Church, but he thinks it’s something more people in the neighborhood need to know about.
“I mean, I don’t know what it’s going to take. I don’t know what kind of help we can get but it is a call on parents. It’s a call on aunts, grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles, cousins, friends,” Scott said. “We got to love on each other a little bit more.”
