MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Enough is enough, say Memphis leaders after a violent month in the city.

Memphis Police Chief C.J. Davis spoke Friday along with Mayor Paul Young and others, hours after two students at Booker T. Washington High School were gunned down in broad daylight.

Davis said the Memphis Police Department has responded to 28 homicides in 25 days this month.

“Some of it is gun violence, some of it is gang violence, some of it is domestic violence, but all of it is nonsense,” Davis said.

The police chief sent out an appeal to the community, especially parents.

“Get your children,” she said. “If you want life and if you love your children, help them stay alive by paying attention to them, just like the mayor said. Either they will die to gun violence or they will end their lives in jail. Either way around, we have a very, very catastrophic situation in our city that all of us need to be concerned about.”

Davis released few details about Thursday’s shooting near Booker T. Washington High School that left two teenagers dead. She would not comment on a motive or what type of weapons were used.

Memphis-Shelby County Schools confirmed Friday that both victims were students at Booker T. Washington High School.

“There were several different weapons on that scene but we don’t have that specific information right now. There was a lot that was going on in that particular situation,” she said.

Davis saying the shootings appeared to be tied to gangs and it is believed the victims were targeted.

Davis also says MPD has ramped up efforts in its fugitive unit, homicide unit and specialized units by adding assistance from federal partners and taking every case they can to federal prosecution.

Both Chief Davis and Mayor Young agree more involvement from parents and guardians can help stop juvenile gun violence.

“If you see a young person walking out of your household with a hoodie on when it’s hot outside, with a backpack on and it’s not a school day, you need to ask some questions, you need to check the backpack,” Young said. “We need everybody to be a part of this solution.”
