Protesters seek gun measures

BEAVERTON — About 20 people gathered at Beaverton City Park Aug. 7 to call for fast action on gun safety legislation in light of recent mass shootings. Members of Holy Trinity Parish's Social Justice Committee came to show their support.

Among them was Eileen Brennan. "Catholic social teaching is clear about the importance of human life and of settling conflicts peacefully," Brennan said. "Improved gun control is a clear path to reduction of death by gun violence in the U.S."
