EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Nashville’s School shooting sparked conversations among mayoral candidates about gun violence in the Rotary meeting.

Democratic candidate Stephanie Terry says public safety officials should be working together, especially in times like these.

“We can’t even educate our kids because we’re challenged with and concerned about our safety, but I think the continued presence of local law enforcement in our schools is vital to ensure again that our kids are safe,” said Terry.

Republican candidate Natalie Rascher says she plans to approach gun violence by bringing engagement resources to areas with high rates of crime.
