"What you have tonight in the light of this tragedy is, you have these fine community leaders here. People that come from these streets, that come from this community, protecting the community -- literally putting their lives on the line to protect the community," he said.

"That's the tragedy of today -- of too many guns in the wrong places, in the wrong hands," he said.
