Dixon: 'We've go to stop' youth violence

With six juveniles slain in just the first month of 2009, a sense of urgency permeated the bitter cold winter air at the Voices Against Violence rally in downtown Baltimore on Saturday afternoon.

Standing on the same perch in front of the War Memorial Plaza where then President-elect Barack Obama addressed the city two weeks ago offering hope, Mayor Sheila Dixon, Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld and City Councilman Jack Young spoke out passionately about the rising teen death toll, urging residents to get involved.
