It’s been one week since a Birmingham Police officer was shot in the line of duty. Wednesday, local faith leaders sounded a call for peace in the city during an emotional event downtown.
Faith in Action, Alabama’s peacemaker campaign, is made up of local pastors and residents who took to the streets, walking the route where the shooting took place. The group paused every so often to take a moment of silence for everyone involved, including where Roderick Wilson, the suspect who police say fired at officers, was shot and killed.
