Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
47 shot. 5 dead.
Chicago officials meet
It sounds like an
incident in Baghdad or Kabul, doesn’t it? But this series of gun violence
incidents happened over a summer weekend in a country that has the most
organized, trained and well-equipped police forces, the United States of
America.
So, how come a
five-year old girl who just happened to be in her friend’s house was shot in
the head by a stray bullet from outside and died? And she was just one of those
who were shot over one ordinary weekend in Chicago. More surprisingly, 60 were
shot and nine dead over the Independence Day weekend in the city. Do people in
America celebrate their nation’s birthday not only with firework displays but
also firearms shootings?
Read and learn the
impact and emotion of the family members of the shooting victim as well as the
remarks by the city officials.
