Gun violence activists called for action Saturday after multiple shootings resulted in the deaths of three men in the Bronx this week.
"Every conflict doesn't have to end with someone than picking up a gun and letting off shots," said an activist from Bronx Rises Against Gun Violence (B.R.A.G.).
Local advocacy groups spoke directly to their community, calling for an end to the pattern of gun violence.
This call to action comes on the aftermath of four separate shootings that police said occurred blocks away from each other.
"We need to fix this, and the way you fix this is with the resources around you. There's so many mentors that can help you," another B.R.A.G activist said.
