You don't have to be paying too much attention to realize there has been a rash of gun violence in El Paso, especially amongst teenagers. It has also gotten attention from the Prince of El Paso (and current Green Bay Packer) - Aaron Jones.
El Paso Police Department released a statement on Twitter saying they were aware of a man walking around with an assault rifle but were unable to do anything.
This year EPPD is using social media to get teens excited about this year’s contest and they are hoping that by teaming up with FitFam El Paso, they can reach a larger number of high school students.
