Montgomery officals seeking solutions to youthful violence outbreak

MONTGOMERY, Al.
Police and community groups say they're working to find a way to end a spate of violence in the city after several shootings left three people dead and 22 injured in the past two months.
Police have arrested 11 suspects in the shootings, all of them between the ages of 16 and 23 and most of them 20 or younger.
The Rev. Ed Nettles says that he's working to help forge a truce between two feuding groups.
Nettles, founder of the "Enough Is Enough" campaign against violent crime in Montgomery, said he's begun the process of reaching out to leaders of both groups.
Montgomery Public Safety Director Chris Murphy also said that police are working hard to develop new approaches to the evolving problem.
