Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw and District Attorney Larry Krasner have both decried the city’s gun-violence epidemic, now at its highest level in more than 10 years.

“Those of you who have suffered losses in your family and are dealing with the pain of loss: We hear you," Krasner told a group gathered in Nicetown earlier this month. “We care about you.”
