How should we respond to the Jefferson student shootings?

Last Friday night, two young men opened fire on a group of Jefferson High School students, wounding six of them. Mayor Sam Adams authorized increased police presence in the area and extended the assignment of additional officers to the bureau's gang intervention unit. The mayor called the shootings an "everybody in Portland problem," but will everybody be part of the solution or will the city follow past practices in addressing these problems? How do you think our city government should respond?
