North Carolinians Against Gun Violence calls for policies after mass shooting
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCT) — North Carolinians Against Gun Violence is calling for policies to prevent gun violence after the Hickory shooting leaves 1 dead and 11 wounded.
The mass shooting happened Sunday, June 1st at a house party in the Mountain View area of Hickory in Catawba County.
'One death due to gun violence is one too many, but according to CDC data, in 2023 one North Carolinian died every five hours and guns are now the leading cause of injury death of children in NC,' Becky Ceartas, Executive Director of North Carolinians Against Gun Violence (NCGV) said. 'We are tired of not feeling safe at parties and in our homes, schools, parks, shopping malls, movie theaters, hospitals, grocery stores, and places of worship.'
