Mercy denounces recent shootings
The Sisters of Mercy denounce the extrajudicial killing by police of Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black man in Akron, Ohio, on June 27, and the mass shooting during the July 4 parade in Highland Park, Illinois, which left seven people dead and dozens critically injured. We offer prayers for the family and all who loved Jayland Walker, and for those whose lives were taken or whose bodies were injured, for their family and friends and the whole community of Highland Park.
