After years of rampant gun violence in Delaware’s largest city, a 2014 Newsweek article dubbed Wilmington, “Murder Town, USA.”
On Sunday, June 30, at 6 p.m. WHYY-TV will air a half-hour TV special about Wilmington called Rebound from Murder Town.
The show explores what the city has been doing to reduce that violence and improve its image. Featuring interviews with Mayor Mike Purzcyki, police chief Robert Tracy and community leaders, Rebound from Murder Town takes viewers on a tour of Delaware’s biggest city to see what is improving, and what still needs to be done.
