The city we live in is not very large. Around 65,000 and we've had several drive by shootings, at least one that I know of in a very nice neighborhood. Where, if memory serves me right, a teenager was killed. A small child was killed in another drive by. He was inside his families mobile home. That one was gang and drug related. It's so crazy these days. There are lots of contributing factors. Poor parenting, influence of television and video games as already stated.
Brooke, so sad this has happened in your town. If we could reach out and teach people that there is another way. It's just so hard to reach everyone, and if we could, they would not all listen. My heart aches over this.
