It Happened Again

Exactly as the title says.  It happened again, but this time at home.

Full article is here.

Cliff Notes Version:
  • School Shooting
  • Allegheny County - Beechview
  • Three shot, most likely not lethal
    • One was merely grazed
  • Dismissal time

I'm not going to go into too much depth here, for the simple fact that this is merely two hours old and facts have yet to surface, but I had to something.

I had to.

Shootings at schools and deaths are schools are what dominate the media as it is, but I had to say something since I just mentioned this in my last post.  I will add something later if I can find out more once information was released, and I have been working on a good post about a different topic.

And then I get the report that a shooting had happened here in Pittsburgh.

There are times as a Blogger I suddenly feel the need that I have to say something, and I don't necessarily have the time to plan it out.  As I journalist student, I can chalk this up to the phenomenon of "Breaking News."

For readers that are in that area and may know victims, you have my deepest sympathies.  This is a tragedy that NEEDS TO STOP RIGHT NOW.

Why are we shooting each other?  Why are we shooting KIDS?

WHY?

Like I said, I will do a full feature once more information comes out, but I feel as I had to say something.
