On Wednesday, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney is set to address the surge in gun violence across the city. The mayor is expected to detail the city’s gun violence prevention strategies during a press briefing beginning at 1 p.m.

Meanwhile, the Kenney administration is getting criticized for refusing to declare an emergency.

Many say the mayor simply isn’t doing enough, and the administration is now pushing back.
