Community Activist Tony Herbert spoke out Sunday about the Mother's Day violence.
The guns just keep going off," Herbert said. "Those who have these guns are laughing in the face of our justice system and prison system saying that you cannot contain us because we’re going to continue to do this because we don't fear going to jail."
The NYPD is still investigating all three shootings.
