A Mass Killing in Missouri By: Zaria Chambers 5th period

A gunman in Missouri killed seven people including himself and injured one person on Thursday night.  The seven people that were found dead were said to have gunshot wombs to them. They were all found in there homes which was located in a small town with a population of fifty people. The gun an was identified to be Joseph Jesse Aldridge and he was believed to related to all of the victims. Authorities are not quite sure of why he decided to go on a killing spree. His mother was found dead but it was due to natural causes and some authorities think maybe that was his motive. 

This is a very tragic situation and its so sad to hear. There really needs to be a control on gun laws. Maybe people should take test to decide whether or not they are able to  purchase a gun. This is very tragic and I really hope that the families of the victims and the community can move forward from this.
