D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced last month a major step in the city's effort to stop gun violence. Linda Harllee Harper will be the city's new Director of Gun-Violence Prevention after an uptick in violent crime – the city's first-ever position focused on the issue.
Bowser said Harper will handle "strategic development review and implementation of our gun violence prevention efforts."
