Rise in shootings forces Mississippi town to cancel Christmas parade – By Christopher Hutton (Washington Examiner) / December 19, 2021
One town has canceled its holiday plans due to growing concerns about gun violence.
Crawford, Mississippi’s mayor announced that the small town has canceled its Christmas parade due to a growing trend of gun violence in the town.
“You can hear the ‘boom, boom, boom,’” Mayor Willie Parson told WCBI. “They’re shooting like 30 or 40 rounds at one time. That’s what I call a war.”
Last Friday, Crawford Mayor Willie Parson canceled the annual town Christmas parade because of a growing fear of gunfire incidents. That same day, a man was shot in the arm with a pellet gun. pic.twitter.com/Nh3WIR00lA
