There were at least 69 gunfire incidents in Bloomington-Normal in 2022, including five people who were killed and another 12 who were injured, according to police tallies and WGLT reporting.

Bloomington-Normal groups and institutions are decrying the shootings at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs over the weekend and calling for change in national culture and laws.

At a vigil Sunday in Uptown Normal for the 21 victims of the Texas school shooting victims and for all those impacted by gun violence, advocates urged the small crowd gathered not to give up.

The mother of a gun violence victim is launching a Violence Prevention and Intervention (VIP) center on Saturday. The VIP is a pop-up tent that will travel to gun sense events around the area, and give gun violence survivors a platform to speak about their experiences.

Another mother's son died in gunfire a week ago in Bloomington-Normal, and a gun safety group is repeating its call for sensible safety measures to prevent gun violence.

Karen Irvin from McLean County Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense says a survivor isn't necessarily always a person who's been injured by a gun incident physically, but anybody whose life has been impacted by gun violence and trauma.

The Bloomington-Normal community marked the fifth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting Saturday with a memorial service in downtown Bloomington.
