Photos: Candlelight vigil against gun violence
Calling for federal action against gun violence, a candlelight vigil took place Saturday night at Grangebel Riverfront Park in Riverhead.
The one-hour vigil, themed “We Have Not Forgotten,” was planned by Riverhead Organizing for Action, part of a national nonprofit that advocates for federal policies throughout the country.
It came after several incidents of gun violence that have hit close to home, including the death of Riverhead High School graduate Demitri Hampton, who was gunned down in his cousin’s Flanders home in January.
