Nonprofit organization hosts seminar for the youth
SUMMARY: In Tupelo, a recent shooting incident involving a teenager has prompted the Israel United in Christ group to organize a youth violence seminar aimed at teaching conflict resolution to prevent escalation into gun violence. Immanuel Israel, the seminar organizer, emphasized the need to reduce fatal outcomes from such violence, with over 3,500 children dying from gun-related incidents last year. Tupelo Assistant Police Chief Anthony Hill urged community members to report any suspicious activities to help maintain safety. The free seminar took place at the Tupelo Athletic League, highlighting a community effort to combat youth violence.
