Neighbors React
Community members are reacting to the latest gun violence in Wilmington.
"One little disagreement can end up with you not going home at night, end up in front of somebody's t-shirt or teddy bears on the corner somewhere," said Rome Futch of Wilmington.
The gun violence in Wilmington this weekend follows a deadly shooting last week that claimed the life of 37-year-old banking executive Carrie Mondell.
Neighbor Kathie Klosiewicz knew Mondell for six years.
"It's senseless. It's innocent people getting shot. It shouldn't be like this. You should be able to leave work and go home and not have something like this happen to you," said neighbor Kathie Klosiewicz.
Mondell crashed her white Honda last Tuesday on the 600 block of Washington Street after she was struck by a stray bullet as she drove home from work. She died on Friday.
Mondell was the Vice President and Director of Operational Risk Management at WSFS Bank.
The WSFS building is located just around the corner from the shooting scene.
The shooting happened just three blocks from where the 14-year-old boy was shot and killed on Saturday.
"Anything can happen. You just left work and now she's gone and her little son doesn't have his mother. It's heartbreaking," said Klosiewicz.
