PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Philadelphia’s murder rate year-to-date is down about 40% from this time last year, according to police records. Activists at an anti-violence march in North Philadelphia Sunday said the numbers are moving in the right direction but they could be better.
“Show love. Stop the violence,” says Stanley Martin. Martin says he was holding his grandson when a stray bullet nearly ended his life last year. The scar on top of Stanley’s head is a constant reminder of the problem plaguing neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia.
