A case for the Fear Reduction Initiative taskforce
KTRH-740 reports that some northeast Houston apartment dwellers are turning to the Almighty for help with crime:
A handful of residents of a Northeast Houston apartment complex came together over the weekend to pray, following recent drive-by shootings that claimed two lives.
One woman who has lived at Crofton Place Apartments for 22 years says she's moving out, claiming the complex has become too dangerous. As a group of youngsters played near a sign saying "Drive slow. We love our children," residents offered up prayers for the two shooting victims.
Deric Muhammad with the Millions More movement says some residents feel the shootings were the result of gang warfare, while others think the deaths stem from a drug deal gone wrong. Still others blame random violence.
Surely upon hearing this news, MayorWhiteChiefHurtt dispatched members of the Fear Reduction Initiative taskforce to calm these Houstonians.
