NEW HAVEN — The Rev. Mary Walton's heart is in the Dwight neighborhood — her home during the height of the gun violence of the early 1990s.
"These children are near and dear to me," said Walton, who now lives in West Haven. "I know that they're basically good kids but they're in the wrong direction. It's up to us to steer them right." Walton, of Holy Nation Church, and 75 others took to the streets Thursday evening to combat street violence through the power of prayer.
The New Haven Clergy Association and the Christian Community Commission organized the march in response to a shooting last week that left one person dead and five people wounded, including a 16-year-old girl.

The Rev. Boise Kimber of First Calvary Baptist Church, one of the organizers, had harsh words for the parents of the shooters — telling them it is too late to seek solace from the clergy.
"If your child shoots and kills someone, you are on your own," he said. He said the law should be changed to hold parents responsible for their children's' actions.
"If your child has a gun and he shoots someone, you ought to be accountable," he said. "That means you ought to go to jail, too." One Dwight resident, who would not give her name, said she watched the neighborhood improve in recent years but said Saturday's shooting left neighbors and their children badly shaken.
"I was just speaking Friday of how the neighborhood had changed and then we have all this gunfire," she said. "The kids are just afraid now. A lot of the kids won't even come down here to the store, and that shouldn't be."
