Black Muslim leaders held a press conference this morning in Louisville, at 37th and Vermont Avenue; the location of three shootings in the last ten days. Minister Jerald Muhammad announced an initiative to end the violence, including a free program to provide job and skills training, and mentoring to anyone that's interested. He blamed drugs and a lack of moral direction for the recent shootings, and suggested that the shooters should not be the only ones held accountable.
