Avi Cyperstein, running for City Council voiced his frusatration:
We are only 1.5 hour into 2021 and my district was hit with a triple shooting. I received a call from a co-volunteer about the incident just blocks away from where I grew up. 1 patient is currently in traumatic arrest. We need to be able to feel safe where we live. #itstimeforavi pic.twitter.com/nlJ30CtGqH
