Philadelphia district attorney calls for NRA boycott after 3 killed in shooting

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) called for Pennsylvania legislators to boycott National Rifle Association (NRA) donations and lobbyists after three people were killed in a shooting on Saturday night.

Authorities said at a press conference on Sunday afternoon they found several active shooters firing on South Street, a popular entertainment District in central Philadelphia, just before midnight. The incident left 11 others injured, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said.

“The terrible crimes last night on South Street tell our Pennsylvania legislators it’s time for real action,” Krasner tweeted. “Boycott NRA lobbyists, boycott NRA donations and bring real common sense gun regulation to Pennsylvania. Now.”

The gun-rights group has come under increasing criticism after a string of high-profile mass shootings across the country.

My sister-in-law likes to go up there to hear some of the bands. God I’m glad she hasn’t been shot
