Prince George’s County officials are planning to address the county’s gang problem as part of a wider effort to curb violence after a bloody January that saw 16 homicides. A two-hour public forum scheduled by the school board Tuesday is being billed as a “call to action” for the community to respond to the outbreak in killings this year. Police say some of the slayings may be related to gang or neighborhood crew violence.
Forum on youth violence When: Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Where: Northwestern High School, Hyattsville
