Yesterday evening, Reddit user SamMee514 submitted this photo to Reddit under the title “Anyone else see this sign in front of a church on Euclid?”:

The sign reads, “Gun Deaths in Cuyahoga County since Sandy Hook, 81.”

Redditors, like Prime20 and Wake_Up_Crono responded in a frenzy demanding to know where the statistic came from, how many of the deaths were children, and whether the deaths were homicides, suicides, or in self defense.

What do you think of the sign? Anyone know what church this is?

  2. “Anyone know what church this is?” is a facebook comment phrase, not a news article phrase. Be a journalist! Drive down Euclid and look for the sign or at least to a moderate amount of internet sleuthing to dig up relevant information, like the church’s name and verify related Cuyahoga County gun death statistics. This article offers no more information than the original reddit post.

  3. This is a news blog, so you can’t expect it to be the same as a PD article. These things can get posted quick and then be updated later as the story unfolds.

  5. Just saw the sign today the church is on Euclid Ave at Cornell. Didnt get the name.
