No comment from Nixon on plea from St. Louis Mayor

Date: October 14, 2014
By: Michael Lindquist
State Capitol Bureau

Intro: 
After failed attempts to contact the Nixon administration, the plea from St. Louis's mayor goes unanswered.
RunTime:  0:39
OutCue:  SOC

Wrap: So far the Governor's office has remained silent in response to St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay's plea for the government's help in addressing racial challenges and violence within the city.

Several attempts were made to legislators, including the governor's office, for comment on the mayor's plea but remained silent. This comes after many protests as a result of the actions in Ferguson.

On Tuesday, three people were left dead and one hospitalized after two separate shootings in northern St. Louis bringing the homicide total to one-hundred eight in two thousand fourteen, up from eighty-eight in two thousand thirteen.
