Message from Chief Layton and Commonwealth’s Attorney Humphries:
Over the last few months, the City of Fredericksburg has seen instances of violent crime stemming from gun violence like most cities across the country. Gun violence doesn’t just impact victims and offenders; it affects families, children, loved ones – gun violence impacts our entire community.
Today, the City of Fredericksburg Commonwealth’s Attorney Libby Humphries and I are sending a clear message to anyone who comes to Fredericksburg: we will not tolerate gun violence in our City. If you are found in possession of an illegal firearm or use a gun in the commission of a felony, you will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
My agency and this community will not tolerate gun violence of any kind.
