Is this when the city finally gives a damn about killings?

Sure, we can have over 60 minority people killed in the first half of the year and no reaction from the Mayor, their office (lol), the City Council or community or church leaders. Sure. Everyone has written about that, including me, here. But now, here's a young white woman--a new mother--who gets gunned down at a friend's house over the weekend while in the friend's very private home. Is this the event that finally wakes the city up to the fact that we need to do something about the shootings and killings and "drive-bys" in the city? Part of me hopes it is and the other part is so disgusted that nothing, to date has been said or done about it, it's hard not to be a bit jaded by the silence and acceptance of the area's "leaders" of the whole murder and murder rate situation.
