Long-time resident Pheyi Ngobese pleaded for action against crime in the area.
“People are shot every day. I might be sitting here and they might call and say my family has been shot. Even when we are voting here a gun might go off.
“The government must remove guns. We have a huge problem with gun crimes.”
