The Macon branch of the NAACP wants people under age 25 off Macon’s streets by 9:00 at night. Officials say drastic measures are needed in the wake of several shootings last weekend. They call the surge in gun crime a community emergency. Police suspect some of the shootings are gang-related. However, Macon Mayor Robert Reichert does not believe a curfew would be enforceable although he agrees the situation requires immediate attention.
