TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Tallahassee leaders gathered Tuesday at the scene of Saturday\u2019s Perry Street shooting to discuss ways to prevent another similar tragedy. <\/p>\n
Local leaders are navigating how to prevent violence, but say they can\u2019t do it alone. <\/p>\n
City and County Commissioners, the Leon County Sheriff\u2019s Office and others took part in Tuesday\u2019s gathering. <\/p>\n
All agree that more needs to be done to keep the public safe, while still having fun and celebrating Florida A&M University traditions. <\/p>\n
Delverna Henry, who has owned property on Perry Street for over 20 years, said Saturday\u2019s shooting has left her saddened and wondering what\u2019s next. <\/p>\n
She said the main reason she opens her home to vendors during FAMU events is for the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of the time, Homecoming, we have more teenagers out here without parents, and the parents, I feel, need to tighten up and give them a curfew,\u201d Henry said. \u201cI would like to see a curfew shortly after the game is over. Give them time to get food, you know, but within an hour, they need to clear out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Henry said that she will open her home to vendors for FAMU\u2019s next home game. It is not known how many vendors will return to Perry Street this weekend. <\/p>\n
