Governor Shapiro wants to “come together' to help save the lives of kids losing their lives due to violence on the streets, but he has no plan to recruit the National Guard on subways and buses. Here’s why.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro told FOX 29 there is no plan to activate the Pennsylvania National Guard on subways and buses in light of recent violence in Philadelphia. But he did say help may be on the way in funding under his new budget."It doesn’t have to be this way" said Shapiro still reeling over the mass shooting of 8 teenagers Wednesday at a SEPTA bus stop in Northeast Philadelphia.

"I’d like to see Septa Police handle Septa Police problems" said Troy Parham, Vice President of the Fraternal Order of Transit Police Lodge #109. "If we can hire 500 cops, then let's push efforts in that direction. Let’s push efforts in retaining the cops we have," added Parham.
