City Weighs Youth Curfew After Shooting | Winston–Salem News

A recent shooting has left city leaders scrambling — two suspects are charged with possessing guns, not pulling the trigger. Police checked the scene three hours prior and found nothing, raising questions about how weapons got in.

Meanwhile, the interim safety director insists on creating safe spaces for youth, even without a curfew, stressing that while violent crime is down, any incident can spark fear. The city’s now weighing options — balancing safety with youth needs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
