  • NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 23: People listen to testimonials from the families of shooting victims at a conference and candlelight vigil as part of a National Day of Outrage in New York and other major U.S. cities on November 23, 2009 in the Bronx borough of New York City. Following a number of violent shootings in the Bronx, the Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network called for a day where attention is drawn to gun violence, which they say is now at epidemic levels in major cities across America. Walters was shot and killed last year while attending a party in the Bronx.
