For Pastor Clarence E. Wright, the previous Sunday's request was no shock. He's all too familiar with the violence in the 2500 block of North 23rd Street, where his church has stood for 33 years. On one occasion, a bullet flew through his office window. He's lost count of all the shootings. "It's sad, but there's so much violence around the area, to hear of a shooting is unfortunately not out of the ordinary," he said. "It wasn't until after the service I learned of the magnitude of this one."
