PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- With song and prayer, dozens of people from the faith community gathered in Drexel Hill to say no to gun violence.

"Even though Philadelphia has a formidable challenge, so does Delaware County. Suburbs have gun violence problems as well," said Pastor Russell Atkinson, who works for the United Methodist Church in Drexel Hill.

To raise awareness, the group marched from the Incarnation Holy Sacrament Episcopal Church to Drexel Hill United Methodist Church about a mile away, where a large memorial stands out front.
