MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - Police in Miami Gardens are working to help remove guns from the streets.
The department hosted a gun buyback event out of a mobile command center set up at the Antioch Baptist Church, near Northwest 34th Avenue and 213th Street, Saturday afternoon.
Organizers invited residents to turn in weapons anonymously, with no questions asked, in exchange for $100 cash.
“We just want to get these guns off the streets, to make a difference in our community and save our fathers and our sons,” said event organizer Kay Dawson.
Officials said 15 guns were turned in within the first hour.
