Marion County Prosecutor issues statement

Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears on Monday issued a statement urging residents to find a way to resolve conflict without resorting to violence.

“Many simple disputes ended with violence over the weekend. We continue to see lasting damage caused by the inability to resolve disputes before resorting to gun violence. We cannot not tolerate this behavior and the use of firearms or weapons as a resolution to conflict.

We forewarned the consequences that would come from having more guns on our streets as a result of the permitless carry legislation, and we are witnessing the ramifications of that action on a far-too-frequent basis.

As a community, we must do our part to combat gun violence and address the issues that lead to it.”
