Gun Surrender Event Yields No Guns
Lynchburg, VA - A gun surrender event didn't pull any weapons off the
street, but police say it brought the community together.
Dozens of young people gathered at the Diamond Hill Center for the
event sponsored by Churches United For Service, the Lynchburg Police
(web) Foundation, and the LPD.
It's the sixth gun surrender event the groups have held. So far,
they've collected 11 guns.
Each person who has turned one in has been entered for a chance to win
this Chevy Impala, an old police vehicle.
Even though they didn't get any guns Thursday night, police say this
was great for strengthening the neighborhood.
Maj. Wayne Duff with the Lynchburg Police Department said, "By working
with our community, our faith based community, our business community,
all of us are the reasons I think that we're experiencing low crime
right now. And that's good for us."
Major Duff says they plan to hold a couple more surrender events
before drawing for the car on December 19th.
