After a week of nationwide gun violence, Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins released a statement saying she’s dedicated to making sure this is an “anomaly in our history.”

Last Sunday, three were shot dead in Gilroy, California, at a garlic festival. On Saturday morning, at least 22 were killed by a gunman at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. And around 1 a.m. Sunday, at least 9 more were murdered in a nightlife district in Dayton, Ohio.

Rollins wrote that Boston stands with the recent victims of the “seemingly endless cycle of violence we refuse to address with the urgency it deserves.”
