(Louisville, KY) - Mayor Greg Fischer is leading a nationwide discussion on re-imagining public safety.
The two-day virtual U.S. Conference of Mayors summit is meant to help mayors, police chiefs and other public servants share ideas and insights into how to handle gun violence.
Fischer says gun homicides are up 33-percent in major American cities over the past year, including record violence in Louisville.
The summit will wrap up Wednesday with a discussion on the federal government's role in reducing gun violence.
