The Blogger interface is terrible. I had explained that numerous times and continue to voice my frustration to the platform. So instead of doing much work, it's going to be shorten, simple and no polls at the end. So I said that gun violence costs families their parents, their children, their friends and their communities the lives that could have been around. Besides the pandemic, the rise in gun violence should be a pandemic.
President Joe Biden must find ways to get gun violence under control. With the Senate stalling his agenda through two Democrats and 50 Republicans, it appears he may have to work hard to retain control of the House and the Senate going into November.
Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States. Obviously, American gun violence is just like apple pie, a part of the country's culture.
Janae Hairston, 16 from Canal Winchester, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus, was shot and killed by her father.
He mistaken the teen as a burglar. The teen probably snuck out the house and tried to enter the garage when the alert came on the father's security system. So he pulled his firearm and shot the teen in the chest.
He was on the phone telling his own child to "breathe, baby....I'm so sorry."
The mother called 9-1-1 after the shooting at 4:30am and said the father thought he had an intruder enter the home and the security notifications came up.
"My husband made a mistake and shot her because he thought she was an intruder," the mother frantically said on the phone. "She was in our garage and my husband just didn't know what was going on. Oh my god."
She was taken to a local hospital in Columbus where she was pronounced dead from the injuries.
Hairston was a junior at the Canal Winchester High School.
The Franklin County Prosecutor is determining whether charges are going to be filed against the shooter or if the shooting qualifies as a "castle doctrine" defense.
Columbus has a population of 1.04 million residents. The city has grown in the last ten years and is the only Midwest city in the Rust Belt that managed to gain while most declined. The city has 202 homicides in 2021.
This was the most deadliest year for Ohio's largest city.
