The nine Fall River City Council members commented on last week’s shooting in the Corky Row Neighborhood as well as other shooting incidents that have occurred so far in 2021.

City Council member, Trott Lee said “come and talk to me about it” when discussing if anyone had a question about him caring for the city and the recent shooting.

Council member, Michelle Dionne also expressed her surprise at the number of shootings that have occurred in Fall River compared to a year ago.
