This past Saturday on January 15th there was a shooting at our local mall Independence Center. The shooting happened because someone made an inappropriate remark to someone's girlfriend. Two innocent people were shot but thankfully not killed.
My friends little sister (age 13) was at the mall when this happened. Thankfully she was not hurt in anyway. As I was sitting there talking to her about the event I could not help but to be a little angry at the fact that a 13 year old has even had this type of experience in the first place. Then she started telling me about the mass hysteria experienced. Not only were people running like crazy (which is expected) but they were leaving small children behind. One four year old even got stepped on by an adult in an attempt to escape. In my mind, the children should have came first. Mae (my friends sister), bless her heart, instead of running for her own safty she ran around trying to bring some kids left behind to shelter. She shouldnt have had to do that in the first place honestly. Parents shoud have kept their kids closer than ever at that time. It's good to know there are still good people out there.And I'm glad that they are my friends.
Also, if your going to be carrying a gun around for protection it is your responsibility to make sure your not shooting it off every time you get mad. In cases like this innocent people are affected and they do not deserve it.
If you are going to be carrying around a gun for protection be sure to know proper gun safety first!
