Family Dead -brett akop

A teenager was shot to death by cops in Baltimore, Maryland. He didn't stop at a stop sign, and refused to pull over after a state trooper caught him. It then resulted in a gun fight. The police traced him all the way back to Kentucky, to his address. They were wondering why he was all the way in Baltimore and then alerted the authorities in Kentucky to do a search. When they came to his house, they found that both his parents and his sister had been shot. He had tried to muffle the gun shots with pillows, since they were placed on their faces. They were all shot twice in the head, as if he really wanted to make sure that they were dead. Apparently, the family had gotten into a huge uproar over computer usage, and the teenager had reacted in that way. I think that this is a bit exaggerated on account of the teenager. He must have had something very wrong with him to have shot his entire family over the use of his computer. This is the type of world we live in today, where teenagers get mad over such little things and reach so dangerously. Things like this always leads back to the second amendment, concerning gun usage. Many believe it's not in the gun and that it depends on the person holding it. But I believe, that if this teenager didn't have the gun in the first place, he wouldn't have reacted in this way. http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/16/us/maryland-kentucky-shooting/index.html

  1. This is rediculous. Computers have become such a big part of our lives that even though it may seem trivial to get worked up over computer usage, the truth is that we've all become so dependent on them that with a push, we could all do something like this.
