City Councilman Jumaane Williams said that change has to happen now, 1010 WINS' Roger Stern reported.

"Unfortunately statistics in the NYPD say that shootings are spiking up. This is a blip that we want to make sure doesn't continue," he said.

Organizers of the 'Not In Our Hood' march want a number of measures including a law requiring that all bullets be micro-stamped so they can be traced.

Gama Droiville, 13, who was shot in the eye while standing on a street corner has a simple message.

"We just need to stop it," he said.
