COMMISSIONER STEVENS ISSUES STATEMENT ON WAREHOUSE DISTRICT INCIDENT

NEW ORLEANS - New Orleans Office of Criminal Justice Coordination Commissioner Tenisha Stevens today released the following statement on last night's incident in the Warehouse District:

"My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by last night's mass shooting," said Commissioner Stevens. "This tragedy in our community is simply unacceptable. From strengthening weak gun laws to expanding comprehensive programming that addresses the root cause of violence, it is imperative that we establish a culture of accountability at all levels, from our legislature to our criminal legal system. As Criminal Justice Commissioner, I commit to continuing to work with local, state and federal partners to make our city safer."
