"Gunman Shot and Killed at Walmart in Pennsylvania" by Tea Perez 1st period

A man walked into a Walmart in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania late Saturday night and started pointing a gun at people. Stroud Area Regional Police were called to the scene. Officers arrived and told the man to drop his gun, but he refused and pointed his weapon at the police instead. The officers then shot the man in the upper chest and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital. No one else was hurt or injured at the Walmart. Police have not identified the gunman however.

It seems as though the number of shootings are increasing everyday. This has to do with the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms. Unfortunately, these guns end up in the wrong hands and this results in these mass shooting or an attempt to mass shoot.

  1. I completely agree with you. I think that this is why thorough background checks should be issued for everyone that purchases a gun

  2. My biggest fear is being in a public place, minding my own business, and this happens. Pointless, fatal massacre. Something needs to be done about that. -Emily Miller
