Statement on mass shooting

This weekend, our city faced another tragic act of violence that occurred in our neighborhoods. Our thoughts, prayers and support continue to go out to the victims, families, and everyone else who has, in some way, been impacted.

The Office of Violence Prevention is housed within the New Orleans Health Department, because we recognize violence as a public health crisis. Our commitment is to work tirelessly on finding solutions for those affected by violence, as violence is a collective problem that hurts us all.
