Madi Haggard- Jacksonville, Mississippi Shooting

   In Jacksonville, Mississippi, a 24-year-old gunman opened fire on a live video gaming tournament.  The 24-year-old shooter killed two and left eleven injured.  Later identified, as David Katz, the gunman fired several rounds during the match and ended up fatally shooting two gamers.  As soon as shots were fired and heard, the competition immediately stopped, but the live stream did not leaving any viewers to listen to the horrific aftermath.  The weapons used were two handguns legally purchased in Maryland, later taken to Mississippi to reign terror upon the competitive gamers.  The suspected shooter was found dead with one self-inflicted gunshot ending his life.  The sole killer ultimately ended three lives including his own and injured eleven more with just two handguns.  Luckily the eleven wounded are in stable condition and alive, but  Jacksonville, Mississippi is currently mourning their lost and protecting their other pedestrians from further harm.

  This article was published August 26, 2018, because it was posted so recently it shows how America isn't changing or becoming safer.  It tells about the worst of what people are capable of and the violence that occurs.  Just like an event that happened a long time ago on August 20, 1986, in Edmund, Oklahoma, a man, Patrick Sherrill killed fourteen and hospitalized six.  These reoccurring events show how people are corrupt and when motivated for whatever cause to do something astounding and unforgivable, they do it.  This article was made to inform readers who want to stay up to date with current events, specifically this shooting.  It tells them and gives them the power to know whats going on, as well as the intelligence to speak out about it.  I believe this article is relevant because it doesn't hide the ugly of the situation; instead of laying out the facts bare and for all to see.  The pieces are relevant to today because not only does it let us know nothing has changed, it gives us insight and knowledge to let us begin to make the needed change.
