Demonstration by Nebraskans Against Gun Violence

--- Quote ---Forty-eight pairs of shoes were displayed on the State Capitol steps Friday evening as part of a national vigil against gun violence.
The display was organized by Nebraskans Against Gun Violence, said the group's president, Amanda Gailey of Lincoln. The shoes represented victims of violence in Nebraska this year.

Either the reporter wasn't using the whole statement from Gailey, or Gailey was being VERY misleading (big surprise), since there have been a LOT more than 48 people killed by violent means in Nebraska this year.
