Events - March 2013

St. Louis Mayor Francis G. Slay speaks with 22-year-old Damion Morris before an anti-gun rally in Downtown St. Louis on March 30, 2013.  Morris was shot for no reason by a gunman in 2012 and is now paralyzed.  Political and religious leaders plus emergency room doctors spoke about the advantages of background checks and outlawing large capacity ammunition clips.  The rally was organized after a four-year-old girl was shot in the shoulder as she stood on her porch in front of her St. Louis home.
