Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia: "I am here today to tell you that on behalf of all of these victims — all of these families... that we ARE going to make a difference."
Video transcript
Here are the individuals who were shot and killed under the age of 20, all teenagers, in 2025. And the number here is 16. Again, all members of the minority community here. I don't know how many of these cases have been solved, but what I can tell you is, again, it's guns on the streets. It's individuals who are not concerned about accountability, who don't have any reason to fear law enforcement. I am here today to tell you that on behalf of all of these victims, all of these families, that they're going to be accountable. That we are going to make a difference. And that we are going to make sure that law enforcement is focused on these innocent, now silent victims of crime in the district.
