LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC 36 NEWS NOW) – Following the most recent shooting on Thursday (03/27), Devine Carama, the Director of One Lexington, spoke about what changes he thinks need to happen and how he felt after hearing the news of the most recent shooting. “Today I was angry,” said Carama. Ca rama says the location of the latest shooting is a place he never thought it would happen. A place in which he used to spend a lot of time in. He says that while data shows gun violence has gone down in Lexington over the past few years, they are also learning that some are using guns to solve their disputes. “A bullet doesn’t care about how much you make a year or how big your house is,” said Carama. “And that’s why I say those root causes are that easy access to firearms, the culture that says the firearm is how we solve these disputes.” He says that until people really focus on the root causes of gun violence, we’ll see it spread into places you would never even think of. “This isn’t one neighborhood, one race, one organization. It’s really going to take all of us to be at our best or you’re going to continue to see gun violence pop up in neighborhoods that historically you wouldn’t see.” Even after hearing about another shooting incident Carama says he never allows himself to become detached from a situation. “I never get too tired or numb to it, because when you get numb to anything you lose your ability to act.” Adding that this isn’t something that is trending or a headline, people’s lives are shattered by gun violence. “We’ve just got to get to the point where we’ve had enough.” And also says the work to end gun violence is never over.
