Karen Mooney, one of the organizers of the "Thou Shalt Not Murder" campaign, realized it was a start, but not a true victory.</p> <p>"I find myself grateful that, by grace, no murders happened on Easter Sunday. Twelve people were shot, our victory hollowed, but through the hard work of first responders and medical professionals, no one has died," she posted on the Thou Shalt Not Murder Facebook page.</p> <p>"For all those who have helped through prayer and work and witness, I am grateful that you brought your talent and time and faith to bring hope into our world. Grateful that memorials were placed, events held, articles written and ideas shared.<br /> <span id="more-16632"></span></p> <p>"As this new week unfolds my prayer, beyond for a continued time of no murder, is that you find rest and joy abundant," Mooney said.</p> <p>Organizers say the campaign will continue, with Mother's Day being eyed as a possible future action day.</p> <p>In the most recent homicide, two men were shot, one fatally, Saturday afternoon in West Englewood.
