This week I read a very sad article about a gunman in Austria that fired into a small crowd attending an open air concert. Police have stated that the overnight shooting was preceded by an argument between a woman and the gunman in a nearby parking lot. As things escalated, the man grabbed a gun from his car and began shooting into the concert venue. Unfortunately, 2 people were killed and 11 were wounded. After returning to the parking lot, the gunman killed himself as well.
Analysis- This is a very sad article to hear about! It is so unfair and awful that these people's lives were ended so fast, based off of one person's bad decision. This article reminds me of the Boston Massacre in U.S. history. The Boston Massacre started off with verbal threats and thrown objects between colonists and British army soldiers. However, it quickly turned, and 5 people were killed while 6 others were injured. While both the events in the article and in the Boston Massacre were not massive in scale, they still ended with the deaths and injuries of several people, and outrage of many.
