Gun violence was also the focus of another announcement out of Louisville today.

Mayor Craig Greenburg was joined by city, state and federal officials to announce the Prohibited Firearms Possessors Initiative, or PSP.

They say the new initiative is aimed at identifying and stopping repeat gun defenders by using a multi-agency approach that involves law enforcement, prosecutors and federal agencies.

Despite some progress and reduction in the number of shootings over the last few years, gun crime continues to threaten our city.

And we know that many violent crimes are committed by a relatively small and few individuals here in the city.

The Prohibited Firearms Possessor program is aimed towards repeat offenders.

As you've heard here today, those with violent histories and those with recent felony convictions.

People should feel safe while going about their daily lives in their cars, their homes, their neighborhoods.

One trigger pulled or a single bullet has the power to destroy that feeling of security in an instant.

And that's why all of us here have a bright red circle drawn around the repeat gun offenders.

The group began reviewing cases when they met for the first time earlier this month.

They plan to meet monthly.
