Four shootings 8 guns were recovered in the span of a week. Residents in the city of Schenectady are concerned “ I do myself feel unsafe most of my time living here in Schenectady, I don’t condone violence. I will say that things need to change for the better.” said Adept, no last name given.
Another young woman I spoke to tells me she believes with the warmer weather approaching she believes the cycle of violence will continue. She says she believes the police should be more vocal and more forthcoming “I feel like, for the most part, they’re trying to be discrete about it. To like to dim the concern of the erratic-ness that may happen.
Kalani: So you think law enforcement is trying to play down the seriousness of the increasing violence in the area?
Suki: yeah, I think they are. I really think they’re paying attention to it, but they’re picking the right times to act on it.” I reached out to The Schenectady Police Department to bring some of these concerns to the attention of the Chief; They are processing our request.
