This article was published on November 26, by abcNews and written by , Emily Shapiro . I had no idea that this happened just yesterday in Philadelphia , and obviously gun issues are still not being solved. This is very tragic , even though the kids are doing well in the hospital , this shouldn't be happening . This article was written for the people that live in the neighborhood were this incident happened and for anyone to be aware of gun violence. The author seems very aware of this issue that she even contacted a police officer to make sure that the kids were okay. This article is important , for the public to be safe about this issue.

  1. I hope that they get down to a victim and what his intentions were. It's so sad that this happened in his own home.
