Mayor Cherelle Parker, Philadelphia school district and more city officials are joining hands to help provide support to students and staff impacted by the multiple shootings injuring a total of 11 teens in just four days.

"I'm pissed off," said Pastor Carl Day who took to social media this afternoon following the shooting of eight teens in the Northeast at a Septa bus stop at Cottman and Rising Sun."I believe that we are at a place and point that we cannot be safe on the bus, be safe while we're waiting on the bus, and we're watching just a host of young people shooting at each other and also being shot," he said. In one post, Pastor Day condemns shooters and women dating them.

Balloons remained there Wednesday after a vigil was held in memory of the student."The reality of it is that the trauma inflicted on our young children today who have been shot in the school community is significant," said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel.
