The announcement comes after three people were fatally shot in the county over Labor Day weekend, including a 15-year-old.
Alsobrooks , flanked by the county’s police chief and council president, lashed out at the county’s prosecutor, courts and parents for what she said was a systemic failure to hold repeat criminal offenders, particularly juveniles, accountable.
“These kids don’t just need a home, they also need to be held accountable,” Alsobrooks told reporters. “I know this isn’t the popular thing to say, but the truth of the matter is, it’s a fair question: Where are the parents? Where the aunties? Where uncles and other family members who are responsible for them?”
The curfew, which starts Friday at midnight, comes after gun violence took the lives of at least three people in the county over Labor Day weekend. Among the victims was a 15-year-old D.C. resident. A 1-year-old was also shot, but was listed in stable condition.
