gun vigil

From left to right, Rochester Hills Mich., resident Jill McKinney, Milford Mich., resident Laura Trout and Milford Mich., resident Sherri Masson hold signs and listen to a speaker during a vigil held by the Michigan Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence on Dec. 9, 2015 at the Capitol Building. Representatives from faith groups throughout Lansing and victims of the effects of gun violence spoke to the crowd. Those in attendance were encouraged to sign post cards urging their state representatives to veto Bill 442, which would allow certain individuals with concealed weapon permits to have guns in no-carry zones, like schools, hospitals and public libraries.
