Youth foundation addresses uptick in gun violence

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — In the wake of Tuesday night’s shooting in Syracuse, a local youth group is speaking out.

Anthony Pitts grew up in the neighborhood where Tuesday night’s shooting happened. Hitting closer to home, he knew both men involved.

“Earlier this morning I found out who they were, and I coached both those young men in Pop Warner over at Kirk Park,” said Pitts, the director of programming for the Good Life Foundation. “I’m very familiar with them. Actually, we worked with one of the brothers of the youth in one of our school-based programs.”
