Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton announced a community vigil Tuesday night to honor the victims of recent gun violence in the city.

The Mayor released a statement saying, “Lexington has had a difficult few days. Our community is at its strongest when we are together, and that’s more important than ever right now.”

The vigil is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday at the Courthouse Plaza in downtown Lexington.

Gorton will be joined by Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers, Fayette County Sheriff Kathy Witt, faith leaders, and other community partners.
