Elle Grinnell- Jacksonville shooting

On Sunday August 26th there was a mass shooting at a gaming convention in Jacksonville Florida. Two people were killed and then the gunman turned the gun onto himself. In addition to three people dying eleven were injured in the incident. The whole incident was captured online because the whole event was being streamed over the internet. Luckily firefighters happened to be training across the street and started distributing aid to the injured and seeking for help.
      There was just a mass shooting earlier this year in Florida and several others within the United States. It needs to stop, too many innocent people are getting hurt and most of the time there is no real motive behind it. There have been more than enough shootings to get people to open their eyes and be more aware that something needs to be done about this. It isn't enough to just sit there watching the news and sympathizing for the families.

  1. People need to take school shootings more seriously and take more precaution. Bullet proof desks isn't enough for everyone to be safe. I agree that people especially parent need to open their eyes and spread awareness about these sort of issues.
