Students at George Washington University are calling on city leaders to toughen up laws for those who attack the homeless.
The students held a vigil this week after a homeless man was murdered near campus on Christmas Eve.
Three other homeless men have been brutally attacked in the area, all within the past few months.
Bill, one of the men attacked, says the murder has them frightened. They say a little prayer at night for protection.
