Selma city leaders hosted a Public Safety Committee meeting Wednesday night to discuss ways to address crime issues that have plagued the city for years.

The meeting was organized following a series of recent shootings that claimed the lives of three youths in a short period of time, including a 2-year-old child who died in Selmont last week.

About 40 residents gathered in the City Hall chambers to hear from officials and ask questions about the city's plans to improve public safety. Todd and Cindy talk about the meeting in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
