Chattanooga’s mayor said Monday he is «hopeful» the city’s new police chief will help him take a more aggressive approach to crime prevention after a shooting left three dead and 14 injured over the weekend. Tim Kelly joined «Americas Newsroom» to discuss the need to get tougher on crime to stop mass shootings.
«I am committed to funding the department for anything and everything that it needs to combat the problem here», Kelly said. Chattanooga Police Chief Celeste Murphy said 14 people were gunshot victims during Sunday’s incident, while three other people were struck by vehicles. Two people died from gunshot wounds and a third person died from injuries sustained when they were struck by a vehicle fleeing the scene, according to reporting from Fox 13.
