DeKalb County, Georgia, leaders are asking citizens to sign a pledge to refrain from firing guns into the air in celebration of the Fourth of July. The initiative follows the death of 4-year-old Marquel Peters, who died on New Year’s Eve when a stray bullet pierced the roof of his Decatur church and struck him in the head. The boy was sitting next to his mother during a midnight church service. Authorities never determined who fired the shot, but believe it was a New Year’s Eve reveler.
